Book Description
Filled with wit, insight, and inspiration, this anthology includes sermons for every Sunday and major celebration throughout the Christian year based on the First Readings from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary. Three outstanding preachers from diverse denominational backgrounds interpret texts from the Old Testament and Acts in fresh ways that proclaim the good news for the twenty-first century. Their powerful messages remind us that the Hebrew scriptures are much more than just ancient history and explore what they mean for us today. Proclaiming timeless themes of justice and righteousness, as well as God's faithful covenant and enduring forgiveness, these imaginative homilies call us to lead better, more God-centered lives. This is an essential resource that's useful for: - Fresh homiletical approaches to the lectionary texts - Preaching illustrations - A clearer understanding of scripture passages - Adult study and discussion groups - Personal devotions and Bible study on each Sunday's texts The illustrations in these sermons, taken from both classical and common sources, as well as personal experiences, are worth the price of the book. I'll buy any book of sermons that gives me one or two good illustrations that are fresh and believable. Charles Reeb is a master at illustrating his points. John K.

Book Description
He Speaks in the Silence is about Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf. Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book shows women not only how Diane, as a deaf woman, hears in everyday life, but also how she can learn to listen to God in the midst of her own loud life, finding intimacy with God and the deep soul satisfaction she longs for.

Book Description
“Based firmly on biblical truth . . . Practical steps to enter into an interactive relationship with God—where we talk to Him, and yes, He talks to us” (Dr. Craig Von Buseck, editor at Inspiration.org). Can You Hear God Now? addresses the specific question of whether or not Christians believe God speaks to them individually. Many people pray, but few listen to God. Susan Roberts surveyed hundreds of people from various backgrounds, religious affiliations, genders, and ages, from twenty-four states and three foreign countries, to determine if and how they communicate with God. The survey reveals interesting trends in today’s thinking about hearing God and how God speaks in a variety of fascinating ways. Many of those surveyed even share stories about their personal interaction with God. Can You Hear God Now? combines these stories with Biblical principles to encourage readers to develop their own two-way communication with God, making their spiritual lives come alive. “The world is full of noise, but Susan Roberts’s prayerful Can You Hear God Now? cuts through it all to find some needed holy clarity . . . It imparts confidence that hearing God’s voice is a result of preparedness and openness to hearing what God has to say.” —Foreword Reviews “May be one of the most useful recent books on Christian faith and living . . . A book very much worth reading, studying, and applying.” —Col. Alexander Shine (ret. army), lay leader for military chapels and Officer Christian Fellowship “Susan Roberts’ stories are credible and provide inspiring examples of God’s interactions with normal and sane people. Her book brings acuity to our ears.” —Dr. Marshall Shelley, director of the Doctor of Ministry Program, Denver Seminary

Book Description
I hear your heartbeat is a poignant, heartwarming story about love, forgiveness and healing. Painful memories of long ago can linger in the caverns of our heart and soul. A simple song, a familiar aroma, an old greeting card or an echo from the past can make the memories, and the pain, as fresh and as real as yesterday. Tallet Jinx found that reliving those memories was the only path to peace and reconciliation but would he find the courage needed to make the pilgrimage. Travel with Tal on his journey of discovery as he seeks healing and solace from the painful remains of a broken high school romance. Deep in his soul he instinctively knew that what he sought could be found in the sound of her heartbeat, if he could hear it just one more time. The healing and solace would come, but in a most unusual and unexpected way. Tals pilgrimage brings him to new life, new hope, forgiveness and, most importantly, the freedom to love fearlessly and unconditionally.

Book Description
The Sunrise of the Soul is the fruit of the last 24 years of an unexpected new life and a journey of transformation that took Gerry Straub from the glamour of Hollywood to the horror of the worst slums on earth. Straub’s journey began in an empty church in Rome during a moment of grace in which the hard shell of his ardent atheism was penetrated by a spark of light, allowing him to see that God was real and loved him just as he was. Eventually, Straub felt God telling him to stop filming the poor and to go live among the poor. He now lives in a crowded slum in Haiti where he operates a home of hope and healing for 69 abandoned kids, 24 of whom are still in diapers. Straub says his journey is far from over and will never be finished. As Karl Rahner reminded us, “In the torment of the insufficiency of everything attainable we ultimately learn that here, in this life, all symphonies must remain unfinished.” Living in a home with 69 kids in Haiti means that the stillness and silence needed for contemplation are virtually nonexistent. After more than four years of intense work in Haiti, Gerry began to commit himself to the rejuvenating power of authentic solitude in order to turn his attention to his own inner spiritual poverty. In the silent predawn darkness of each Haitian morning he waits, reflects, and prays. This book emerged slowly from those many lonely hours of silence.
