They featured the author's reflections on how to meet the challenges of living a Christian life in a modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These letters reflect a pastor’s heart for his church family as well as his thoughts as he leads that church through times of great change. Jim McCormack wrote monthly as part of the church newsletter from April 1992 to June 2009. The newly formed church had relocated. Some people had left. New ones were arriving. There was concern over the best use of funds and the best ways to worship. And there were mission trips, both globally and locally. Jim shares the joys and tragedies of the congregation—baptisms, illnesses, deaths, even a murder. And as his retirement approaches, he reflects on his own life—the death of parents, children leaving the nest, the births of grandchildren. These letters paint a picture of what was going on in the 90s and early 2000s in the world, the country, the mission field and the church as well as in the day-to-day lives of Jim and his church members. You will find in this book a steadfast commitment—to love the people of God, to bring new people to Christ and to bring salt and light to a world in need of God. – Pam O’Brien, former parishioner, Church of the Cross

Book excerpt: A clergyman is frequently "set apart" more by the thinking of parishioners than by any ordination by ecclesiastical authorities. An aura seems to be apparent to many lay people, that the clergy person is "different." This is defined in a variety of ways especially in the matter of behavior. Not that a person of the cloth is expected to have reached a state of perfection, but, well, really he should have. After all, the parson's whole profession is that of extolling the virtues of a good life shouldn't there be an example to give validity to the words? The critical evaluation comes because the pastor-preacher-priest-rabbi function is seen, by definition, not just by ordination, as a different and special approach to life. The ordination is always validated or invalidated by the life. The idea finds expression in a myriad of ways. If anyone makes a Christian profession, outsiders, as well as initiates, have their own, sometimes strange beliefs as to what they ought to see. Every preacher could tell of amusing, derogatory, and almost libelous ways they have been perceived as somehow different in being. We are thought of as blue-noses, wet-blankets, kill-joys, holier-than-thou individuals who aren't in touch with life that really is, hypocrites who have a cushioned life, sheltered from the real world. This not only in the realm of morals and the appetites of ordinary folks, but in the world of business and the wider worlds of politics and international affairs. The dictionary points out that the term "parson" comes from the Middle English word "persona", which is a borrowing of an Old French word for "person." Some comfort may be taken in the fact that for centuries the words have carried a kind of double burden; parson-person. This puts some added possible meaning into Chaucer's title, "The Parson's Tale", the concluding story in his "Canterbury Tales". In the Middle English rendering it comes out as "The Persones Tale", and deals with Penitence, with heavy emphasis on the Seven Deadly Sins. One of the reasons a parson can deal in a helpful way with parishioners is that they have this in common; the parson is a person with a special slant on the problems of persons. So, by this somewhat circuitous route, we come to our title. A vignette is an illustration or picture, in the center of a page, "having the edges shading off into the surrounding page." This parson's tale is, like Chaucer's on the road to Canterbury, a series of vignettes, giving evidence that the parson is a person dealing with persons as a parson-person. Chaucer, according to scholars of the first rank, mixes in a good deal of humor, and some of these jottings are here because, in the midst of the experiences they record, they suddenly gave off humorous vibes. No offense is meant. They are vignettes that shade off around the edges, because there has been no intent to provide a manual or training book in counseling, or therapy, only a recording of the sometimes sad, sometimes tragic, sometimes challenging, sometimes maudlin, sometimes funny, but always human and interesting experiences of one parson's life.

Book excerpt: This “amusing and elegantly written” romp takes readers on a wild ride through the life of Robert Parkin Peters (The New York Times Book Review)—a liar, bigamist, and fraudulent priest who tricked some of the brightest minds of his generation. One day in November 1958, the celebrated historian Hugh Trevor–Roper received a curious letter. It was an appeal for help, written on behalf of a student at Magdalen College, with the unlikely claim that he was being persecuted by the Bishop of Oxford. Curiosity piqued, Trevor–Roper agreed to a meeting. It was to be his first encounter with Robert Parkin Peters: plagiarist, bigamist, fraudulent priest, and imposter extraordinaire. The Professor and the Parson is a witty and charming portrait of eccentricity, extraordinary narcissism, and a life as wild and unlikely as any in fiction. Motivated not by money but by a desire for prestige, Peters lied, stole, and cheated his way to academic positions and religious posts from Cambridge to New York. Frequently deported, and even more frequently discovered, he left a trail of destruction including seven marriages (three of which were bigamous) and an investigation by the FBI. "I was captivated from start to finish by this utterly mad, and wholly delightful story of chicanery and fantasy, and which involves a man who relentlessly duped our most cherished institutions of godly pursuit and higher learning. Plus I learned how to defrock a priest, always good to have on hand in these troubling times." —Simon Winchester, author of The Perfectionists
