N2  - One of today's best known Christian leaders recounts, with wit and humor, memorable moments from his rich vocational life. Will Willimon, who once told that a Methodist preacher was all he'd ever be, regales readers with the adventure of a life caught up in the purposes of a God who calls unlikely people to engage in work greater than themselves. Beginning with his childhood in the segregated South and moving through his student years, Willimon gives candid, inspiring, and humorous testimony to his experiences as a seminary professor, rural pastor, dean of Duke University Chapel, globe trotting preacher, bishop, and popular theologian and writer. Above all, he shows God's constant call on his life.  By turns poignant, hilarious, and thought-provoking-- but always irresistibly engaging-- Accidental preacher is sure to be remembered as one of the classic memoirs of our time
