Outstanding!

Reverend Fleming Rutledge offers thorough and profound Spirit-inspired preaching on the cross and the resurrection directly in the Word of God, the Bible. Elements of her work are on par with such leaders as Lewis and Stott. Rutledge is at her best when she is least polite, yet eloquent when articulating the astonishing, even shocking, truths of Christian orthodoxy. This work is, in fact, a call for a return to orthodoxy: Live in the cross; live in the ressurrection. I spent Holy week and Easter with these sermons, and the Spirit blessed me mightily. In addition, I love the beautiful sacred art and commentary. Reverend Rutledge offers the very best that the Episcopal and Anglican tradition hold. This is encouraging, considering that the Episcopal church (USA) has begun to abandon Biblical truth and orthodox Christianity. I offer Reverend Ruthledge every encouragement: Come, Lord Jesus, breathe your Holy Spirit into our dry bones through your gifted daughter, Fleming!
