When sermons focus only on the victory of the Christian life, this makes walking the way of Jesus more difficult for those who are in pain. Kim helps those of us who preach take up the holy responsibility of proclaiming that every part of our lives--including our sorrow and pain--is something that we address as a church and is, more importantly, a place to encounter God.'--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest; author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night'Kim is a battle-scarred, veteran pastor familiar with suffering and a master teacher of preaching.
