Means of Grace

A book of fifty-two weekly devotions drawn from Fleming Rutledge's sermons, compiled and edited by Laura Bardolph Hubers and published by Eerdmans in 2021. Hubers, then director of marketing and publicity at Eerdmans and Rutledge's longtime editor, conceived the idea of a weekly devotional built from the sermons. The readings follow the liturgical year, beginning with the First Sunday of Advent and moving through the seasons of the church calendar. Each entry opens with a passage of Scripture, gives a reading from one of Rutledge's sermons, and closes with a short prayer. The book gathers material from across her preaching rather than presenting new writing, so it serves as a sampler of the sermon collections she had published since 1998.
