How To Profit From Prophets
$12.95Prophets have not done well in history — at least not by ordinary standards:
Elijah seemed to be the only one in Israel resisting Baalism
Amos was told to keep silent and go back where he came from
Jeremiah was scorned and imprisoned
John, the Baptist was beheaded, and …
Jesus, the greatest of them all, was crucifiedBy ordinary standards the prophets have not done well because, as Jesus said, we ignore or kill the messengers of God. And yet it is the extraordinary standards of the prophets that intrigue us, inspire us and stimulate our minds and consciences to God’s ways and thoughts. Because of their extraordinary standards the prophets continue to shape us and history.
In this challenging Advent-Christmas book, Maurice A. Fetty reminds us again how it is important to “profit from prophets.”

What evolved was this series of seven messages for the Sundays beginning with Advent and ending with Epiphany.

Hard Questions Heart Answers
$22.00Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King, is an ordained minister, an attorney, and one of this country’s most admired speakers. As this remarkable collection of her sermons and speeches makes clear, she shares with her father a rare gift for oratory and the wisdom and compassion to inspire others.
The collection begins with words designed to “disturb the comfortable.” Tackling such controversial subjects as our disaffected youth, gun control, and the death penalty, King paints a compelling picture of the spiritual decay and deep-seated racism that infects our society. In the second part of the book, a selection of sermons focusing on “comforting the disturbed,” King’s belief in the power of faith to restore our communities, morally and spiritually, rings forth. The church, she asserts, must return to its helping and healing mission, and each of us, looking into our hearts, must put aside our differences and remember that each human life is precious.
