It was as an associate minister at a vibrant downtown Atlanta church that she first hit the wall, feeling spiritually depleted and distant from God. ![]() From the beginning her mountaintop moments of ministry were tempered by the valleys.

That book inspired others to follow the call to ministry, as did the ten books that followed. In her first book, The Preaching Life, Barbara Brown Taylor delighted readers with a seamless sewing together of divinity school memories, scripture, and ruminations on the beauty of the liturgical calendar and life in a congregation. ![]()
