The writings of Elizabeth O'Connor have made a distinctive contribution to classic literature on growth in the Christian journey. Her writings have a unique way of engaging readers at the point of their pain for the purpose of inner growth and healing. Our Many Selves is an extraordinary tool for self-discovery which leads to deepened relationship with God and others. --N. Gordon Cosby Founding Pastor, Church of the Saviour Price: $9.95 In Stock Ships in one day.
The introductory sermon, "This I Have Learned," was preached in 1956 to a large audience of ministers at Earlham College in response to an invitation from Dr. Elton Trueblood, its president. He asked Gordon to reflect on what he had learned in the first 10 years of his ministry. What a dynamic reflection it was! The sermon was an excellent starting point for the book because in it Gordon presents his vision of church and the grounding in Christ which being church requires.
When Christ comes to a person he makes a total claim; only a total response is adequate.
The 21 sermons which follow build on that foundation as they focus on seven related themes. As the words on these pages flow in unity, the reader realizes that each sermon is a work of art. Though they were crafted over a number of years, and originally were not intended to be in book form, their underlying theme never strays from Gordon's vision of church and commitment to radical discipleship.
In his Forward to the book, Jim Wallis of Sojourners answers the question as to why another book of sermons can be so valuable. Jim lists many reasons-Gordon Cosby is truly a great preacher. He emphasizes commitment and mission, and calls the Church of the Saviour-based communities to a quality of being in the Christian life even more deeply than to doing. But, most importantly, says Wallis:
"What Gordon Cosby imparts in this extraordinary book of sermons is a vision of the local church honed in the crucible of more than five decades. It is a far more practical and powerful vision of the Body of Christ than one could find almost anywhere else. Perhaps Gordon Cosby's vision is so radical because it dares to ask and wrestle with the most basic of questions."
This book is a timeless resource. The sermons are a wake-up call that touches our minds and hearts and invites us to experience in our deepest being what it means to follow Christ. As Jean Vanier has said of it:
"... what to say, except that it is full of the love and wisdom of Jesus."
