"""I couldn't put this book down. Pastor Nancy offers each story as a glimpse of the sacred found in the ordinary, weaving incarnational, earthy theology throughout her prose love story of the church 'in-between the hospital and the high school, ' a love story that lives on in lives touched by grace. What a gift of storytelling!"" --Katherine Gohm, regional vice president of North America, Lutheran World Federation ""Pastor Nancy's stories made me laugh, cry, ponder, and reflect in deep ways. They bring the weird and wonderful experiences of parish ministry to life in a very special way! And throughout, grace abounds!"" --Michael Pryse, bishop, Eastern Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada ""At first, these stories seem to be mapping a particular site, grounded in place, that holds the stories of a specific community. As I read on, this midtown church becomes a metaphor for what it means to be the church in the world; in this way, the stories act as a touchstone for those of us who are longing and searching for faithful engaged community. And there are many in my generation including myself, desperate for such touchstones."" --Rebekah Ludolph, active layperson"
