""There are few if any stewards of the Word as well-spoken as Chuck Bartow, who both embodies and brings together here the fruits of a rare confluence of faith, joy, insight, wisdom, creativity, and theological integrity. Any book by Bartow is a signal event, but these selected sermons, poems (his own and his brother's), and his libretto on the resurrection constitute a truly glorious testimony that warrants a heedful hearing. Read aloud . . . and listen!"" --Timothy Matthew Slemmons, professor of homiletics and worship, University of Dubuque Theological Seminary ""What a privilege to read this beautiful book! It flows out of the life of one of the most articulate, dedicated, and faithful servants of the Word of our times. It is full of wisdom, hope, and joy."" --Richard Burnett, managing editor, Theology Matters
