Description

“John Humbert, the third General Minister and President of the Christian Church(Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada, served the church in a variety of offices during an enormously consequential period in the history of our church and the world. This memoir is a treasure trove for historians, full of first-hand contemporaneous observations and reflections on some of the most historic events of the last six decades from someone who was there in the thick of it…John offers a real-time record and reflection on his life’s experience now tempered in hindsight and the wisdom of many years of life in the church…It is a life well lived, deeply rooted in family, in faith, and in deep appreciation for the countless way grace and mercy appear. This memoir tells the story of this remarkable church leader in his own words..”—From the editor’s introduction, The Rev. Dr. Richard H. Lowery, former President, Disciples of Christ Historical Society
