 Book Synopsis

 You Don't See Many Chickens in Clearance: Essays on Faith and Living encompasses a variety of thought-provoking articles, including two bonus audio readings at the back of the book, designed to gently encourage readers to consider and define their faith in how they live their everyday lives. An easy, conversational style makes you feel as though you are sitting down to visit with an old friend each time you open its pages.

Seventy-four essays are gathered into nine sections: Community Matters, We Are One Village, United But Struggling, Personal Journeys, The Impact of Individual Lives, New Parables, Family Valued, Faith, and The Church Year.

• The importance of identifying national community and the personal journey is explored in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the struggle to understand the unexplainable events in our lives.

• Peter Jennings, Rosa Parks and the Rev. William Sloane Coffin are remembered for their profound legacies.

• The debate over reinstitution of state-sponsored school prayer and what sharing meals together can mean to family life are considered as faithful responses to God's activity among us.

Readers will see themselves and their own lives emerge on each page. These essays inspire us to look at ourselves and each other with humanity and compassion, with new perspective and grace.
