Description

The Reverend Stirling McCutcheon is a Scottish Presbyterian minister who has been called to serve as senior pastor at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in Albany, New York. As one who has placed in juxtaposition Dostoyevsky's notion that "there is nothing lovelier than the Savior" alongside Grunewald's grotesque portrayal of the Crucified Christ, McCutcheon defines his own identity as a devotee of fractured beauty, an identity that rivets him to the beauty of his parishioners fractured by misfortune and tragedy. A variety of crosses--icons that come to him in various ways--represents the suffering of his people, each cross possessing its unique story. In addition to dealing with the age-old question of a loving God that allows inexplicable suffering in his beautiful world, McCutcheon wrestles with the unnerving query of whether God is expendable. McCutcheon's predecessor apparently hanged himself in front of his congregation during a Good Friday dramatic presentation of Paul Claudel's Death of Judas. Was it an accident, or did his disillusionment cause him to identify too closely with Judas? In contrast to his predecessor, McCutcheon holds fast to his ordination vows as a shepherd of his flock, even at his own personal expense and that of his family.

Calvin Coolidge Wilson is a writer with a gift from God. His work is inspiring and insightful, like Renoir with a brush or Bach with an orchestra.A Box of Crosses presents the reader with a moving plot and the author's deft observance of a melange of characters who are three dimensional and fully human. We all know people like those we encounter in this novel. And, by the end, you will care about them.The all-too-real story of God's plan for humans is the golden thread woven through this sensitive and urbane tapestry of fiction. You'll picture the scenes and settings just as the author intended and you'll be moved by the drama and courage presented throughout the story.While understanding the rhythm and sensibilities of a mainline Protestant church congregation would deepen the meaning you'll get from this wonderful book, it's not necessary for enjoyment. This is a tome anyone can and will enjoy.The greatest of modern Christian writes, C.S. Lewis, would've loved this book. It's a noble nod to the Lewisian notion of well-crafted storytelling and colorful characters being one of the best ways to point people to the glory of the Creator.God has blessed Calvin Coolidge Wilson with the ability to inspire our hearts and arouse our souls. A Box of Crosses is the embodiment of that blessing. This is a book well worth your time.
