In this collection of addresses, she explores pain experienced both in life and around death, with subjects including: * The Gift of Disillusionment; * Learning to Hate Your Family; * Feeding the Enemy; * The Triumphant Victim; * The Myth of Redemptive Violence; * May He Not Rest in Peace.

`Barbara Brown Taylor makes a decisive difference in how we are addressed by the biblical text. She trusts and attends to the text ... she notices what is going on around.' -- Walter Brueggemann `With an active imagination she engages both the biblical texts and the contexts of our lives...Reading [these sermons] one is torn between devouring one after another, or savouring them slowly.' -- Christianity Today
