In his eighty-third year of life, Dr. Jerry Flora, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Spiritual Formation at Ashland Theological Seminary, offers his reflections on life and faith on the pages of Into His Hands. This collection of essays, both a memoir and a witness, is filled with nuggets of truth and hope for those who desire to follow Christ. Throughout his musings, Flora reminds his readers of the truth of Pelikan's words: "If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen, nothing else matters."Yet he also writes of the need for the believer to hurl himself into the hands of Christ, who catches and holds and flings us forward into the heart of God. He acknowledges the questions that come with a life of faith, but also understands that there is a time to sweep up broken pieces, put one foot in front of the other and walk with God into the future, whatever that might be.
