"Reiser's Ramblings" is a collection of the best columns written over the past three decades by Fr. Bernard Reiser, founding pastor of Epiphany Parish in Coon Rapids, Minn. In the book, find Fr. Reiser's take on everyday topics such as family, kindness, gratitude, prayer, helping others, and staying focused on what's important in life. Fr. Reiser's essays are rich in symbolism, wise in understanding of human nature, and fruitful in explicating the word of God. Fr. Reiser brings together a wonderful collection of "ramblings" that all of us can take home and take to heart. Father is a master in the art of spiritual storytelling; he engages, entertains, and challenges with undeniable hope. He has a gift and he shares it generously in this lovely book.
Like a homily, father will share a little scripture with a story that helps readers understand that verse and, even more, learn to live it. These "rambling memoirs" are composed of moving, funny, and profound vignettes that blur the line between sermon and stories; which are inspired by his childhood memories portraying a homey farm life, in a rural countryside setting. Included are stories with the deep conviction that our human journey and our spiritual journey are intrinsically linked. He shares observations that are sometimes so wondrously obvious and visible, and he does it in a way that feels like you're hearing from a close friend.
All profits from the sale of Reiser's Ramblings go to Haitian relief efforts sponsored by Reiser Relief Inc.
