Words For Life

Previously unpublished, the forty sermons collected here were preached by Austin Farrer during his twenty-five years as chaplain of Trinity College, Oxford (1935-60). Most of them were short biblical addresses given during Evensong, and they are offered here for Farrer devotees, and for a new generation of readers to savor.

We are drowning in a sea of uncertainty ... and the Bible can save us. Unfortunately, too many people are being told the Bible is no longer the word of God. Somehow, the truth has become negotiable—and the Holy Book that we once held so sacred is collecting dust on bookshelves around the world. Wonderful Words for Life reminds us that the Bible can be the best resource to look to when in despair or distress. It can help you: • seek forgiveness for yourself and others; • recognize false teachers that seek to lead you astray; • keep your eyes on Jesus as you live life; • encourage your children to walk a godly path. The book includes numerous Bible verses that clearly define God’s wish for our lives. The verses will help you take an honest look at your life and be the Christian God wants you to be. You don’t need self-help books to live the good life. God has all the answers for you in his Word, the Bible!

From the acclaimed writer of the beloved Clara Callan comes a beautifully crafted, charming portrait of the writing life. Combining his characteristic wit and self-deprecation with his extraordinary imagination and insight, Richard B. Wright has created a deeply affecting memoir that reads like a novel. As a small, watchful boy growing up in a working class family in Midland, Ontario, during the Second World War, Wright gradually discovered that he saw the world through different eyes. His intellectual and sexual awakenings, his exploits as a young salesman in Canadian publishing, his painful struggles to become a writer—all of this is balanced against the extraordinary reception that in the 1970s greeted his first novel, The Weekend Man, which was published around the world to great acclaim. In spite of the sometimes crippling depression that haunted him and the ups and downs of the mid-life writer, he would finally achieve overwhelming success with Clara Callan, the Giller-winning work that swept every award in Canada and revitalized his career. Lovers of Wright’s work will appreciate behind-the-scenes glimpses of his craft in individual novels and his exploration of how a writer transmutes experience into art. And readers will enjoy his thoughtful exploration of the essential role of storytelling in our lives. A Life with Words is both a celebration of the writing life and a deeply personal—at times revelatory—invitation into the world of the imagination.
