Are There Horses in Heaven? is a collection of thought-inspiring talks by Presbyterian minister Dr. F. Morgan Roberts. Drawing upon a lifetime of personal experiences with people of all denominations, age groups, and races, his perceptive stories tackle theological questions you've always wondered about. Dr. Roberts challenges us to look beyond our traditional beliefs, and offers unique insights about living in a modern day world where the story of Creation continues to evolve. His ideas address relevant issues that will surely make you pause and reflect. Some of his thoughts will have you laughing, others will make you cry, but all will leave you profoundly moved. ""These words come from the heart of Jesus, whose inclusive love has always been open to all God's creatures. There simply are no 'others, ' no 'left out folk.' How the sermons reflect this fact!"" --Rev. Howard B. Warren Director of Pastoral Care, The Damien Center A service/support organization for people living with HIV/AIDS Indianapolis, Indiana ""Morgan Roberts is one of the ten finest preachers it has been my privilege to hear. His sermons raise difficult issues about life--issues that too often the contemporary pulpit ignores. But he also addresses people with a thoroughly biblical message--that God loves them and invites them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Reading his sermons will never be as good as hearing him preach them or hearing him chuckle at his own foibles. But they will give anyone who takes the time to read them a glimpse of the mystery and majesty of God's love in Jesus Christ."" --Dr. John Mulder President, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Louisville, Kentucky Dr. F. Morgan Roberts is Pastor Emeritus of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, where he served as pastor from 1985 until his retirement in May of 1994. In addition to his pastorates at Shadyside; Birmingham, Michigan; Louisville, Kentucky; Mount Vernon, New York; and Newburgh, New York; Dr. Roberts' talks are familiar to local radio audiences, and to a worldwide congregation through audio tape ministries. A proponent of social change, Dr. Roberts has raised his voice in defense of the rights of welfare recipients, has worked actively with housing and food programs for the homeless, and has encouraged education in the performing arts for the mentally handicapped. Dr. Roberts has served his denomination as a member of its General Assembly Mission Council. In 1986, he was preacher to the 198th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Educated at Colgate University and Princeton Theological Seminary, Dr. Roberts also is the recipient of several honorary doctorate degrees. He maintains an active interest in the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Not one for retirement, Dr. Roberts is serving his second Interim Pastorship since leaving Shadyside Church.
