The Making of a Preacher: Naked in the Pulpit C. Mark Ealy

This is the riveting story of an ordained Baptist preacher who spends years trying to bring authenticity to his spiritual journey. Although the book is filled with intimate stories, the author's hope is that the lessons learned will provide spiritual insights from which we all can benefit. Only by the preacher shedding his robe of honor and piety can he release the tremendous power of naked truth. Whenever we put on clothes they hide our blemishes, our scars, and our secrets. The power of nakedness is that we stand honestly before God and each other for acceptance -- just as we are. When we receive love from that place, we are truly loved.
