Summary: Following his well-received first book, That Amazing Junk-Man (DreamSeeker Books, 2007, honored by Mennonite Weekly Review serialization), this sequel continues to pass on Brunk’s life and ministry. A natural story-teller, Brunk draws upon a lifetime of personal experiences with many age groups, and people from a wide variety of backgrounds. These are stories of humor, grace, and hope. “Hankering for a double shot of
inspiration
in these troubled times? You’ll resonate to these heartfelt reports of
common people doing uncommon things and, in the process, offering
living proof that ‘God doesn’t make junk.’” “The Singing Junk-Man
records anecdotes from Brunk’s life and thoughts growing out of his
forty-plus years of pastoring and mentoring. Read how his own
God-encounters propelled him to reach out and influence others.” —Barbara Borntrager, Author, A
Mother Held Hostage Praise for the first Junk-Man book “Some of Brunk’s
stories are part
Garrison Keillor and part Mark Twain. Filled with pathos, humor, and
the Holy Spirit, these parables will enrich the lives of his readers.” —Gerald W Kaufman, L. Marlene
Kaufman, Counselors and Authors “In these narratives—and in the presence of the seasoned pastor recounting them—we discover that the wall between this world and the heavenly realm is incredibly thin.” —Wendy Miller, Author, Jesus our Spiritual Director “These delightful reflections
reveal the
heart and mind of a beloved pastor who has mentored thousands of
students, leaders, and congregational members.” —Loren Swartzendruber,
President, Eastern Mennonite University Market:
