The Measure of My Days

This volume is a collection of essays in honor of the life and ministry of an exceptionally prolific and creative Mennonite. John L. Ruth, historian, filmmaker, storyteller and pastor, has wrestled with the themes of community, inclusion/exclusion, and art within a traditional religious fellowship. The books writers have themselves thought deeply about these themes of community, the artist, and Christian faith. They include Julia Kasdorf, Jan Gleysteen, Elmer S. Miller, Jeff Gundy, Tony Campolo, Elizabeth Morgan, Eloise Hiebert Meneses, Joseph S. Miller, Ervin Stutzman, John D. Rempel, Ervin Beck, Amos Hoover, Leonard Gross, Rita Haldeman Finger, Ann Hostetler, John Richard Burkholder, and John A. Lapp.
