Wangerin uses experiences from his over seventy years of life and decades of ministry at an inner city church to create this collection of short stories. Each is not more than four or five pages long. The short story format is not one I'm very familiar with, so it was somewhat jarring to read at first. Just as I connected to the characters and was invested, the story was over. However, as I got used to it, I began to see a certain power in the brevity of each story. It concentrates the focus on that one moment when grace shines through.
Anyone interested in people in general will enjoy this book, especially those who enjoy seeing triumph in the ordinary.
