  Preaching From The Minor Prophets A Print On Demand Title

  $19.99

  Despite the authority and theological richness of the twelve books of the Minor Prophets, these Old Testament writings are perennially neglected by the church and the pulpit. This volume was written to provide clergy with the tools to once again preach from these important texts with confidence and relevancy.

  For each of the twelve Minor Prophets, Elizabeth Achtemeier provides a wealth of information useful for preparing a sermon: recommended commentaries, historical context, theological context, and sections dealing with selected texts. These sections include (1) a brief treatment of linguistic and rhetorical features to note, (2) suggested sermon titles designed to arouse the interest of a congregation, and (3) homiletical exposition intended to stimulate preachers as they develop their sermons.

  An excellent guide to the books of the Minor Prophets, this volume is unique for its theological depth, presented in clear and simple language for clergy and laity alike.

  Not My Own A Print On Demand Title

  $20.99

  This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

  This timely, tough-minded work examines the implications of the church’s distinctive characteristics in relation to the most heated moral crisis of our age. Writing from an ecumenical perspective, the authors explore the traditional “marks” of the church – the Word and the sacraments – and ask what difference the church can and should make in the lives of human beings affected by abortion. No other book has approached the issue of abortion from this perspective; no other book offers such sound practical help.

  Nature God And Pulpit A Print On Demand Title

  $25.99

  A book whose time has come, Nature, God, and Pulpit draws together and interprets, for the church and especially for preachers, the biblical materials on the relationship between God and his creation. The book is particularly timely because, as Elizabeth Achtemeier points out, few subjects have been more neglected and less explicated by this country’s pulpits than the relation between nature and God.

  Clearly articulating what the Bible says about the material world and God’s relation to it, this book is all of the following:
  *A thoughtful biblical response to recent discussions of ecology
  *A discerning corrective to many current theologies and ideologies
  *An appreciative summary of the findings and notions of modern science
  *A mother lode of materials and sample sermons on the relation of God to his creation
  *A passionate call for preachers to more thoroughly examine and articulate scriptural content
  *An eloquent and inspiring celebration of God in relation to his world

  While written primarily for preachers, Nature, God, and Pulpit will provide provocative reading for many others as well – seminarians, homiletics students, teachers, and anybody who wishes to better understand the Christian view of the bond between Creator and creation.
