Wally Chappell has been preaching since his first appointment as Pastor in 1947, while a student in seminary. He was always known as an interesting,challenging preacher, who held the interest of his congregation. Many, across the years, encouraged him to put some sermons in print.He first tried his hand at retirement at 69, but became employed in community relations work for a local mortgage company for five and half years; andthen came back to full-time church work as a retired associate for pastoral care at First United Methodist Church of Dallas where he remained on staffuntil 87 years of age. He finally ’got retirement right’. 'Yes', he said, 'I was wobbly, and fearful I’d spill communion wine on someone.'Friends continued to encourage him to publish, and this book is the result. It is mostly sermons, with a eulogy, a devotional and a couple of storiestossed in. All were delivered at First Methodist Church of Dallas, some in Sunday school classes, retreats and studies.His engineer background shows, in a practical, matter-of-fact approach to spiritual matters. He is known as a clear thinker, and a passionate advocateof the Christian Way.He writes for speech, not the written page, and it shows in his syntax. He said, 'I guess I ’preach’ everything I read, sort of trying on the words fororal delivery.' And it shows in reading the text.He is a Biblical preacher, almost always seeking to develop some passage of scripture. The reader will find these messages thought provoking,challenging and clear.It may help to know there were other 'Wallace Chappells' in the Methodist ministry. This is the Texan, by birth, rearing and service, who sees himselfa citizen of the world, and a lover of mountains.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
