OPEN SECRETS
By Richard Lischer
We were asked to read Richard Lischer's OPEN SECRETS:A Memoir of Faith and Discovery for our Residence in Ordained Ministry group this spring. I quickly learned the stories this book held were rich and real. Lischer's confessions and experiences as a young clergy appointed to a chruch and community of economic depression in southern Illinois, foreign to his life and certainly his lifestyle, is moving to say the least.
Lischer approaches these stories with real openness, humor, and humility as a clash of cultures and certainly personalities marked the beginning of his pastorial career.
This book is not only enlightening, but also inspirational. God calls us to meet people where they are, learn from them, and love them unconditionally.
I hope you find time to add this book to your reading list if you have not already done so. . .you will not be disappointed.
Happy Reading!
