Synopsis "the substance of faith: and other cotton patch sermons"

To read 'The Substance of Faith' is once again to experience Clarence Jordan at his best: the flashing wit that could illuminate even as it entertained, the blazing concern that knew how to lay its burden on the heart of even the casual listener, the biting irony that pierced sham and pretense, the depth of spirit that saw fresh meaning in the most familiar passage of Scripture. Within the pages of this book, you'll discover the basic themes of Clarence Jordan's life: "Incarnational Evangelism," the "God Movement," and his prophetic insight into the enemies of authentic faith, such as Mammon. Dallas Lee has brought all this together from what Clarence Jordan said in pulpit, classroom, and lecture hall.

James Earl Carter Jr., known as Jimmy Carter, was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia. He was the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Before his presidency, Carter served as the governor of Georgia and as a naval officer. After leaving the White House, he has dedicated his life to promoting human rights and world peace, founding the Carter Center in 1982.

In addition to his political work, Carter is a prolific author. Among his most notable works are: An Hour Before Daylight: Memoirs of a Rural Boyhood, published in 2001, which is a memoir of his childhood in the southern United States; Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, published in 2005, addresses issues of ethics and morality in American politics; Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, published in 2006, offers a perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; among others.
