Series II, Cycle A
Wayne H. Keller
The most impressive thing about Wayne Keller's body of ideas for worship through 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 lead people through a proper agenda of acts and words which have no bearing on what we do the rest of the week. He is bold in challenging us to bring that real

Sermons for Pentecost Sunday Through Proper 14 Based On the Gospel Texts For Cycle A
Tom M. Garrison
The Word in Other Words presents a beautiful collection of thoughts and experiences, ushering the reader into a closer examination of their walk with God. Too often we forget that the significance of Easter is its ability to deliver a future, saving us from the past and the present with its offer of redemptive hope. As Reverend Dr. Tom Garrison urges the Christ follower to surrender despair and exchange it for hope, he boldly calls us to pursue lives filled with gratitude, risk, and faithfulness -- lives centered on a future that is only possible because of the cross and an empty grave. The Word in Other Words confidently encourages us to follow Jesus, reminding us that he is the only one who can carry our burdens and mend our brokenness.

Animals, Gardens, and Trees

Look It Up - In the Bible - Book 2 is the perfect resource for getting children interested in the scriptures, so their Bibles get used rather than collecting dust on the shelf. Structured in a convenient format that stimulates curiosity, this volume encourages young people to memorize verses and become more familiar with the scriptures by having them look in the Bible to find answers to a wide variety of questions. One side of each page asks a question, provides a clue, and includes a Bible reference that kids can look up on their own or with the aid of an adult; then on the other side of the page they can see the answer highlighted along with the Bible verse containing it. There are nearly 75 questions and answers divided into 3 themed categories (animals, gardens, and trees). Also included are easily reproducible pages with featured Bible verses, so that paper copies with the verse printed on them can be given to each child in a group. Look It Up - In the Bible - Book 2 is a valuable learning tool for Sunday school teachers, homeschooling parents, and Christian elementary schools -- it's a great way to pique children's interest and help them learn that the Bible is filled with fascinating stories, characters, and lessons.

Sermons for the Spring Season
Michael D. Wuchter
Michael's sermons are sheer poetry.  They bring such a strong emotional response for me that it is often days later that I realize the theological and intellectual authenticity and integrity of these sermons that had swept me off my feet emotionally.  This is preaching at its finest.  They are like Michael was in his life: artistic, deeply thoughtful, literate, engagingstories well told.  As Warden of the Cathedral College, home to the College of Preachers, I know excellence of preaching when I encounter it.  Michaels sermons sing and dance.
