Those who are comfortable to wrestle with difficult issues and questions will enjoy Coffin's insights and quotable turns of phrase. Recommended."-Choice "Coffin . .. touched me and forced me to reflect on the nature of preaching, the Christian calling to make life more human, and the need for accepting conflict and ambiguity in the Christian life... I heard the challenge and hope of the Christian gospel powerfully and clearly proclaimed. That makes The Courage to Love a book well worth recommending to preachers and laity alike."-Loren M. Scribner, The Christian Century "The Courage to Love is a fine book for people concerned about the role of the church family in contemporary U.S. society." -National Catholic Reporter "William Sloane Coffin is regarded by many as a modern-day prophet.

In Letters to a Young Poet, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke advises to "be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves," for gradually, "you will live into the answers." These words have long struck renowned preacher and activist William Sloane Coffin as a wise way to view a growing and evolving life. Thus inspired, Coffin, former university chaplain at Yale, imagined a similar volume of letters.

Comprising the sermons preached by William Sloane Coffin while he was senior minister at the prestigious Riverside Church in New York City, The Collected Sermons of William Sloane Coffin: The Riverside Years captures the renowned preacher and social activist at work: ministering to American hostages in Iran, supporting AIDS awareness, and rallying his audiences to battle poverty and nuclear proliferation--all the while celebrating marriages, baptisms, and Mother's Days and mourning the loss of loved ones, including his own son. 
In each of these brilliant and painstakingly crafted sermons, Coffin combined his deep love of Scripture and passionate commitment to peace and justice with his unparalleled gift for the spoken word. While also revealing the personal and pastoral dimensions of his ministry, each sermon provides a powerful example of Coffin's well-accomplished mission: to challenge the conscience of a nation.
