by Dennis R. Maynard (Author)
Over his thirty-seven years of parish ministry, Doctor Maynard wrote weekly inspirational messages for the congregations he served. These columns were titled "Reflections From the Rector" or simply, "Reflections". This book includes selected reflections from Church of the Epiphany in Richardson, Texas, Christ Church in Greenville, South Carolina, Saint Martin's Parish in Houston, Texas, and Saint James by the Sea in La Jolla, California.Also included in this publication are the final sermons he delivered in each of those congregations as well as the sermon he preached at Saint Margaret's in Palm Desert, California marking thes fiftieth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.The author suggests that since the original "Reflections" were written to stimulate thought and reflection in the reader so this book should be read accordingly. Perhaps from time to time the reader may want to close the book, mark their page, and spend some quiet time reflecting on what they just read.The chosen reflections include moments of life-changing history in each congregation, humor, and food for spiritual growth and inspiration.Those who have been touched by the other nineteen books Doctor Maynard has written will not be disappointed. This book will also bring them multiple blessings.
