Description

In 2001 Stanley Hauerwas was voted 'America's best theologian' by "Time Magazine".

Here are Hauerwas' long-awaited memoirs. A loving, hard-working, godly couple has long been denied a family of their own.

Finally, the wife makes a deal with God: if he blesses her with a child, she will dedicate that child to God's service.

The result of that prayer was the birth of an influential - some say prophetic - voice.

Surprisingly, this is not the biblical story of Samuel but the account of Stanley Hauerwas, one of today's leading theologians in the church and the academy.

The story of Hauerwas' journey into Christian discipleship is captivating and inspiring.

With genuine humility, he describes his intellectual struggles with faith, how he has dealt with the reality of marriage to a mentally ill partner, and the gift of friendships that have influenced his character.

Throughout the narrative shines Hauerwas' conviction that the tale of his life is worth telling only because of the greater Christian story providing foundation and direction for his own.
