Deformed Disfigured And Despised Cycle C
$16.18
Jesus was so marred and unbeautiful that those who were like him were drawn to him, and he changed their lives forever. There was something about the blemished visage and form of Jesus that compelled these people to identify with him. Carlyle Stewart suggests that the common depiction of Jesus as handsome and attractive is mistaken, and that first century Christians knew Jesus to be plain, even ugly. Yet our “marred but magnificent messiah” is the source of hope, power, physical healing, and spiritual renewal.
Stewart brings his keen intellect and perceptive eye for contemporary life to 17 messages based on Revised Common Lectionary readings from the Old Testament and the book of Acts. The sermons of this gifted preacher celebrate the sacrifices, suffering, and triumph of Christ that we commemorate during the seasons of Lent and Easter.

Not Your Leftovers But Your First Fruits — Deuteronomy 26:1-11

Great Divorce
$17.99C.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
