Ragman and other cries of faith by Walter Wangerin

The author presents 26 interlocking stories in a variety of styles ranging from gently reflective to incantatory. Together they embody a story theology that explores in fresh powerful ways the meaning of faith, the community of faith, and the vocation of the pastor, the servant of faith.
