Actuality : Real Life Stories For Sermons That Matter
$20.99Stories have a limit, but your reach doesn’t have to.During seminary, stories from dorm life or a former part-time job might manage to suffice for illustrative sermon material, but once a consistent preaching ministry begins, pastors run dry on stories in a hurry. Within a breathtakingly short span of time, most preachers blow through their personal stories and relevant antidotes.
Of course, what preachers need are not canned Internet illustrations, but true-to-life stories inside in which listeners will be able to locate themselves, thus opening them up to receive into their lives the grace of God that alone proffers hope and joy. This book teaches preacher how to cultivate personal habits of becoming consumers of art, journalism, and literature while letting the Word of God shine with a reality that is aptly fitting of a Gospel designed to save the real world.
Of course, what preachers need are not canned Internet illustrations, but true-to-life stories inside in which listeners will be able to locate themselves, thus opening them up to receive into their lives the grace of God that alone proffers hope and joy. Preachers need the insights of skilled novelists, who in fresh ways reveal the sad dynamics inside dysfunctional families. They need the wisdom skilled journalists bring to profiles of poverty and desperation. They need the storytelling skills of filmmakers, whose art is pure narrative.
But to get to these riches, preachers need to be inspired to read and to watch and how to keep track of it all so they can fruitfully bring forward the right amount of insight in a perfectly timed sermon.
This book teaches the preacher how to cultivate personal habits of becoming consumers of art, journalism, and literature while letting the Word of God shine with a reality that is aptly fitting of a Gospel designed to save the real world.

Riddle Of Grace A Print On Demand Title
$22.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
Amid a deluge of books on the topic of grace, this volume breaks new ground. Although Scott Hoezee’s book aims to remind us again of what it means to be saved by grace, it is even more concerned to explore what it means to live graciously as a result of that salvation.
Hoezee first probes the Scriptures to discover the biblical underpinnings of the doctrine of grace. He then wrestles with a key dimension of the gracious life, namely, living gratefully. He explores the gospel threads that weave together grace and the resulting distinctive life of the Christian. Next, Hoezee moves out of a specifically church context into a broader realm – understanding God’s grace and then living the gracious life in today’s capitalist society. Hoezee reminds us that though we live in a society of achievers, grace remains freely given by God. He also has much to say about the impact of grace on business principles. Finally, Hoezee tackles the touchy matter of church discipline.
This highly inspirational volume is intended for any thoughtful Christian who wants to be both informed and transformed by God’s “amazing grace.”
