Lischer

2001

Author Lischer, Richard. Title Open secrets : a memoir of faith and discovery / Richard Lischer. Publisher New York : Broadway Books, 2002.

Description 242 p. ; 21 cm. Edition 1st Broadway Books trade pbk. ed. Notes Originally published: New York : Doubleday, 2001. Doubleday edition had the subtitle: a spiritual journey through a country church. ISBN 0767907442

Summary Lischer tells not only his own story but also the story of New Cana and its inhabitants. With charm, openness, and humor, Lischer brings to life the clash of cultures and personalities that marks his pastoral tenure, including his own doubts, as well as those of his parishioners, that a twenty-eight-year-old suburban-raised liberal can deal with the troubled marriages, alcoholism, teen sex, inadequate farm subsidies, and other concerns of the conservative, tightly knit community. But the inhabitants of New Cana–lovable, deeply flawed, imperfect people who stick together–open their arms to him in their own way, and the result is a colorful, poignant comedy of small-town life and all it has to offer. Subject Lischer, Richard. Lutheran Church — United States — Clergy — Biography.

Summary:

In the Old Testament, God called his people to action with the blast of the shofar, a ram’s horn. God still calls his people today. In this relevant and timely contemporary novel, young preacher Paul Hudson is committed to building his church—but at what cost? As Paul’s zeal and ambition build, he loses sight of the One who called him. As Paul and those around him struggle to discern what it truly means to live out their faith, they must ultimately choose between their own will or God’s plan.
