Corazón Puro

“Currie Burris is a pastor whose heart is finely tuned by the experience of suffering—his own and that of others for whom he has been a faithful companion. His life is one of taking God seriously, including probing honestly God’s presence and purpose in the unspeakable cruelties of this world. Burris shares poignantly, without flinching, the stories of the people who have shaped his life, as well as the remarkable events shaping his forty-year ministry.”


—Roy W. Howard, Dean, Academy of Artful Leadership





“Currie Burris gives a powerful witness to the reality that in this life, a person can encounter great suffering yet ‘testify to the presence and participation of God in that suffering.’ Burris does not let God off the hook for the presence of suffering in the world and in his own life. . . . Anyone struggling to reconcile faith and suffering will find in Corazón Puro a fellow traveler from whom much can be learned.”


—Rex Kaney, retired Elder, North Georgia Conference, United Methodist Church
