Here’s what reviewers have said about Sermons: Summoning the Whirlwind:
Reviews:
"While many mainline Canadian clergy
play it safe and bland, Sanguin feels called to tell it like it is. He sets
out what it means to stand up as a progressive Christian in the 21st century.
These highly readable, even entertaining, sermons reveal the mind of an
intellectual with a passion for justice. But they're also the vulnerable
self-reflections of a man with a poetic sensibility and a generous spirit,
including towards those with whom he strongly disagrees."
--- Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun
"These sermons, soaked in the Bible
and the best of current Christian thinking, light up the story of our lives
and of our times. Inclusive, challenging, and seasoned with his own experience
as a therapist, Bruce Sanguin lets no one nod off as he consistently points
the way to the good news God gives our taking. Keep this man preaching!"
--- The Very Rev. Dr. Bruce McLeod, former moderator of the United
Church of Canada, and Past President of the Canadian Council of Churches
"Bruce Sanguin's sermons take the
reader on a remarkable, intense journey, both inward and outward. His
reflections prod the reader to turn inward and discover their personal,
spiritual identity. At the same time, he insists that the reader look
outward and consider what this implies for authentic Christian living in a
global world."
--- Stephen Ward, Associate Professor of Journalism Ethics,
University of British Columbia
"As Bruce describes in his
introduction, as a preacher he seeks to enter the turbulent whirlwind of text
and world in order to encounter a "swirling force powerful enough to overturn
and re-create"...and to create words that will to touch down like a tornado,
"deep within one's soul, overturning old habits of thought, and outworn
attitudes and beliefs." As the church struggles to find new forms and new
paths of faithfulness, Bruce Sanguin is a preacher who lives and speaks in a
compelling and authentic way consistently urging, inviting and challenging
others to claim and to exercise their own citizenship in God's holy kin-dom. This
book of sermons is a rich treasure to empower readers to embrace the chaos of
our time and be open to re-creation of a new earth. As a reader, I
was touched, comforted, opened to new sight, encouraged and invigorated."
--- Joan Wyatt, Assistant Professor for Pastoral Theology and
Theological Field Education, Vancouver School of Theology
