Low-Back Ladder-Back Cane-Bottom Chair: Biblical Meditations

Description: Biblical texts are the springboards for proclaiming the Good news. For Rev. James S. Lowry these springboards lead to recollections from life and ministry that make the Gospel come alive in a special way. Memories of two very different créches shed light on Marys Magnificant; the funeral of dissolute neer-do-well Tex Malone provides a surprising context for that most famous of verses John 3:16; a misspelled word becomes a fountain of grace for an entire congregation; and the low-back ladder-back cane-bottom chair with the legs cut off just so to accommodate Lowrys diminutive childhood caregiver Bessie Grier calls forth the God who guarded that daughter of slaves and who now guards the adult Lowry as he prepares to face each day.
