Having coined the phrase "the war that will end war," H. G. Wells was disillusioned by the World War I peace settlement.

Outline is a novel in 10 conversations. Spare and lucid, it follows a novelist teaching a course in creative writing over an oppressively hot summer in Athens. She leads her student in storytelling exercises. She meets other writers for dinner. She goes swimming in the Ionian Sea with her seatmate from the place. The people she encounters speak volubly about themselves, their fantasies, anxieties, pet theories, regrets and longings. And through these disclosures, a portrait of the narrator is drawn by contrast, a portrait of a woman learning to face great a great loss.

These are not all the sermons I have preached during my over 50+ years in ministry, but they are the ones that survived the moves, different mediums, and various computer systems. I have collected them in this volume as a gift for my family. Not that I think I am a great sermonizer or orator, but for them to see the Bible through my eyes. Although I used a variety of commentaries and Bibles throughout my ministry there were three references I returned to over and over again. I found the Amplified Bible a great help as it showed me the nuances found in various words often with very different...
