Guns N’ Roses. Jaws. The Statler Brothers. A dead Trappist monk and a living Baptist heretic. With stories about pains, joys, and everyday life, Of Mice and Ministers finds Jesus in some unlikely places and challenges us to do the same. From tattooed women ministers to saying the “N”-word to the brotherly kiss, Bert Montgomery takes seriously the lesson from Psalm 139—where can one go that God is not already there?
As a Christian, Bert really gives you a lot to think about when it comes to living out your faith. Very interesting and thought provoking with humor sprinkled throughout.
Great short reads but very thought provoking. I've listened and known Bert for many years and I can hear him reading these aloud. He always makes you examine your own beliefs.
The first part of the book is vintage Bert Montgomery. I thoroughly enjoy his pairing of cultural paraphernalia with the spiritual/biblical. The second part of the book is a bit disappointing. In place of dated interviews, I would have really liked more of Montgomery's own thinking.
