Series IX, Cycle A
Mark Ellingsen
Mark Ellingsen's new Lectionary Preaching Workbook will be a wonderful resource for pastors for decades to come. I say this because I find the book to be exegetically sound, theologically strong, homiletically creative, liturgically sensitive, and imminently practical in the best sense of that word. Practical Theology of the highest order -- that's what describes Ellingsen's workbook.
-- William J. Carl III, Ph.D., President and Professor of Homiletics, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Series VIII, Cycle A
Carlos E. Wilton
As a Presbyterian preacher for twenty years, I've seen a lot of "preaching helps" on the market. What lifts this volume to a superior level is the combination of intellect and practical skill that the author has to offer. Carlos Wilton has a masterful command of scripture and an encyclopedic memory for appropriate quotes and illustrations -- which is exemplified in this comprehensive -- and ultimately helpful -- work. We can be grateful for his contribution to the ministry of the church, and hope for further publications from him.
-- William G. Carter, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church,
Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania
and author of Praying for a Whole New World

E. Carver McGriff
Preachers must understand the teaching techniques of parable and hyperbole, not to mention having a good background in systematic theology, in order to understand what the Bible's writers really meant....

Wayne H. Keller
The most impressive thing about Wayne Keller's body of ideas for worship throughout the Christian Year is his boldness. He is bold in demanding that we, his colleagues in liturgical leadership, plan worship which has to do with the reality of our congregations' experience in the world, rather than just leading people through a proper agenda of acts and words which have no bearing on what we do the rest
