“A book of profound compassion, depth, and wisdom from one of the greatest Christian minds of our time.”

Rowan Williams

“Hannah's Child might well be Stanley Hauerwas's best book. It is must reading for everyone who knows him, either firsthand or through his other writings.”

Jeffrey Stout

“A fantastic read that shifts from outright hilarity to profundity seamlessly. Here is a pageturning account of one of the most important theologians of the last fifty years -- I simply couldn't put it down.”

Conor Cunningham

“Entrancing. . . . This autobiography follows triumphantly in the Augustinian tradition of Confessions.”

Sarah Coakley
