Book Overview

In this eloquent, personal, hopeful book, popular writer and minister Forrest Church explores the lifelines that can sustain us in times of trouble: deeper connections to neighbor and stranger, a better understanding of human limits, a larger view of our place in the universe. "Excellent, truly excellent!" -M. Scott Peck "Wise and wonderful. With great courage and compassion, Forrest Church helps us face the core issues of human existence: being alive and having to die." -Sylvia Ann Hewlett, author of When the Bough Breaks: The Cost of Neglecting Our Childr en "With wisdom from Ecclesiastes guiding the contemporary wisdom of one of our nation's leading pastors, Life Lines offers good counsel, comfort, and insight for today's dilemmas. Forrest Church takes on the toughest issues--love, death, guilt, and forgiveness--and comes up with practical, usable advice." -Dan Wakefield, author of Expect a Miracle "At once insightful, provocative and comforting." -Rabbi Michael Lerner, author of The Politics of Meaning

One of his best

Forrest Church, who died in September 2009, was a religious liberal with a particular ability to focus on the essence of life. My brother, whose theology is considerably more conservative, said this was the only book he read after his wife died that assuaged his grief, and I often give it to people who are in mourning. It's worth reading even if you are not.

Timely Reading for the New Millenium

Life Lines offered an abundance of information and perspectives that are quite timely for all of us as we enter the new millenium. We are offered the opportunity for introspection and self-evaluation of our moral, ethical and spiritual fabric. Most importantly, it offers us hope that we can evolve in spite of and in celebration of our humaness.

Wonderful, moving experiences of a skilled pastor

In Lifelines, the Harvard Divinity School-educated senior minister of New York City's All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church relates moving stories from his work in pastoral care, and offers a "guide for the perplexed". I recommend this book highly to anyone looking for insights into the conondrums and common miseries of daily life.
