""These words come from the heart of Jesus, whose inclusive love has always been open to all God's creatures. There simply are no 'others,' no 'left out folk.' How the sermons reflect this fact!"" --Rev. Howard B. Warren Director of Pastoral Care, The Damien Center A service/support organization for people living with HIV/AIDS Indianapolis, Indiana ""Morgan Roberts is one of the ten finest preachers it has been my privilege to hear. His sermons raise difficult issues about life--issues that too often the contemporary pulpit ignores. But he also addresses people with a thoroughly biblical message--that God loves them and invites them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Reading his sermons will never be as good as hearing him preach them or hearing him chuckle at his own foibles. But they will give anyone who takes the time to read them a glimpse of the mystery and majesty of God's love in Jesus Christ."" --Dr. John Mulder President, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Louisville, Kentucky Dr. F.
