Description: Peter Gomes is widely acclaimed as one of America's greatest preachers, and "Sermons" is a collection of forty timeless addresses he has preached in The Memorial Church at Harvard University. Gomes speaks eloquently of friendship, relationships, and our desire for happiness; suggests that frustration and anxiety can be means for the discovery of spiritual wholeness; shows ns how at Christmas we can usefully channel our feelings of depression, impatience and joy; and how at Easter -- the time of the Resurrection -- we can confront our fears of the fear of death and give life a chance, arguing that we don't have to die to live. With his characteristic compassion, quoting from T. S. Eliot and Woody Allen as well as from scripture, Gomes offers us the tools we need to understand the wisdom of the Bible and the joy and inspiration it can bring to everyday life.
