2nd Hand - My Heart is Ready; Feasts & Fasts on Fifth Avenue by John Andrew

2nd Hand - corner of title page removed, faded spine, no crease on spine, Good condidtion.

In this new collection of sermons from one of the Anglican Church's finest preachers, we are given a glimpse of the ongoing life of a vibrant contemporary Christian community, that of Saint Thomas Church on Fifth Avenye in New York City.  John Andrew takes us through the rythems of the church year, beginning with Advent's hopeful anticipation, through the intimiate mystery of Christmas and the terribel majesty of Lent and Holy Week, to the amazed joy of Easter and the long green season of Pentecost.

The day-to-day life of this community combines a love of music and attention to beauty wiht a strong social ministry among the dispossessed of a large city.  Thus these are not sermons preached from an ivory tower; they are the fruit of the struggles and joys of Christian discipleship lived by ordinary people in today's complex world.

John Andrew's ability to see parables of the gospel in the ordinary facets of modern life makes him a preacher of conversionas well as a master in revealing the presence of God through the word eloquently writtena dn passionately proclaimed.
