This book of Fr William Bausch contains more story homilies, 33 of them. Each homily is on a scripture passage and they are filled with stories as illustrations. These stories are mainly from his own personal life, from people he had come across and from literature and tradition. The book manifests his deep understanding of the scriptures, his unique insights into the Bible stories and his imaginative and creative mind that gives form to these stories. Through these homilies he presents the truth enfleshed in stories from the contemporary world. I found these very helpful in my own homily preparations. These can also be read as spiritual reading, helping us to place our story along with the stories narrated and to reflect further on the Scriptures. A valuable book indeed !

W J Bausch gives good inspiration when I write sermons. He has nice stories and good explanations. This book is very useful for me as a pastor - and a blessing for me in my own spiritual life. I have bought all his books and they are important for me. I have also made a decision: When I hear that W J Bausch has written a new book, I'll buy it as soon as I can.
