From beloved writer and renowned preacher Barbara Brown Taylor comes a new collection of stories and sermons of faith, grace, and hope. Taylor, author of the best-selling books Holy Envy and An Altar in the World, among others, finds that when you are the invited guest speaking of faith to people you don’t know, one must seek common ground: exploring the central human experience.

Taylor s writing is lyrical and compelling, a feast for the senses and the intellect. Recommended for all libraries. — Library Journal, starred review

Always a Guest is a pitch-perfect sermon collection for these anxious times.—Foreword Reviews

In these anxious times BBT travels light, but her humor is reassuring, her scriptural insights challenging, and her breadth of vision inspiring. Always a Guest is the guest who becomes family, even in a pandemic.—Spectrum

Serving as a pastor of a church in great transition and navigating leading and being Christ s church in the throes of a pandemic, I strongly recommend Barbara Brown Taylor s book, Always a Guest. In each chapter, a well-crafted sermon and a reminder to stay in God s Word. In each chapter, a priceless reminder to trust that the Holy Spirit will make necessary connections. In each chapter, a reminder that we are always guests wading in cavernous pools of God s good love in Jesus Christ. —The Presbyterian Outlook
