Art Of Choosing
$15.00“Never am I more “I” than when I stand serene, survey the field, weigh my choices, set my face in one direction, and advance with firm step and joyful heart. To know what I want to do and do it is the essence of life.”
Our decisions — from the most mundance of day-to-day living to those fork-in-the-road choices of great consequence — chart the course of our existence. How can we make decisions carefully and thoughfully, so as to live more deliberately meaningful — and happier — lives? Carlos G. Valles, author of “Mastering Sadhana: On Retreat with Anthony de Mello,” here explores the process of discernment and decision-making. Using scripture, insights from Ignatian spirituality, and contemporary examples, the author illustrates the how and why of making choices and living comfortably with their consequences, whether they be positive or negative. “If my life is my choices,” he writes, “I want my choices to be the best they can be. I want to master the art of choosing.”

Lectionary Preaching Workbook Series 3 Cycle A
$53.68Practical preaching strategies to help the over-burdened parish pastor communicate God’s Word in vital, meaningful ways.
This is the first volume in CSS’s third series of popular preaching workbooks — Designed to help you get the most out of every moment you spend in sermon preparation.
Special Features Include:
– Commentary on Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, and Common lectionary texts
– Sermon Starters for First Lesson, Second Lesson, and Gospel texts for every Sunday in Cycle A
– “Theological Clues” to help you explore the relationships among all the texts for each Sunday
– Wide Margins and Stay-flat binding for ease of use
– Overviews of preaching challenges and possibilities for each liturgical season
– Extensive Bibliography of exegetical and homiletic resources for Cycle A preaching
– And All-new Insights from one of CSS’s most well-respected and successful authors
This workbook is an exercise in liturgical, as well as lectionary preaching. It springs from the rationale that most lectionary helps ignore the liturgical setting of the lessons assigned to the various Sundays. It is this author’s contention that the exegetical/homiletical process begins with the church year. The year, cycles, seasons, Sundays, and festivals establish the themes and provide theological clues for worship and, particularly, preaching, especially in the first half of the church year. This approach is the outgrowth of the author’s doctoral dissertation and two of his books, “The Renewal Of Liturgical Preaching” and “The Song And The Story.” Both deal with preaching from the lectionary texts in the context of the worship, work, and lives of the people of God.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

New Testament Exposition
$22.99Expository preaching is an elusive ideal. Many preachers aspire to it, few are acknowledged masters. For most a gap exists between the sermon that addresses the needs of the hearers and one that methodically plumbs the depths of Scripture. New Testament Exposition is written to bridge this gap and bring together the disciplines of preaching and exegesis. In this book Liefeld addresses the three main concerns of expository preaching: What is the text saying? How can its message be communicated in ways that are appropriate to the passage, the seeing, and the goals of the sermon? How can the message meet the real needs of the congregation in a way that is consistent with the purpose and function of the text? This book demonstrates how these concerns can be brought together in a sermon, and it is this thoughtful, practical approach that makes the book so valuable to preachers and seminarians. The book is divided into three parts. Part I explores the characteristics of expository preaching. Part II deals with preparing the text and addresses such areas as practical exegesis, exegetical outlines, narratives and compositional patterns, semantic patterns, and underlying assumptions of the text. Part III discusses application of the text by asking, What is the function of the text? What are the needs of the congregation? How can one preach to inner heart needs as well as to the external circumstances facing the congregation? New Testament Exposition is not vague theory, nor is it esoteric study beyond the grasp and time of the busy pastor. Throughout the book Dr. Liefeld reflects his experience in the classroom and pulpit, and his concerns as scholar and pastor are clearly seen in the final chapters of this volume. Chapter 9 examines preaching from difficult texts: How might one handle parables, miracle stories, obscure passages, culturally related texts? The final chapter provides a demonstration of all that is discussed throughout the book by walking the road through the actual preparation for a sermon.

Eucharistic Theology Of Jeremy Taylor Today
$19.99WHY TAYLOR TODAY? Jeremy Taylor is more than a famous figure from the Anglican past for much of what he created theologically remains an ingredient in Anglicanism today. Seen against the background of his own times, he stands out in a period rich in theological ability. Seen from the angle of our times, Taylor commands our attention as a precursor. His Real Presence and Spiritual (1654) anticipates aspects of eucharistic theology in the Lima Report (1982) and in the Final Report(1982) or ARCIC I. His moral theology forms the context for his sacramental theology and forestalls much of the development characteristic of the twentieth-century revolution in that subject. He has moreover the curious capawy of appearing to make hirnself at times our contemporary.aaA man of paradox, both Laudon and liberal, steeped in the great tradition yet: on occasion strangely modern, he persistently defies easy classification. He is a theologian of affiliations but of no party, holding ‘the faith once ‘for all delivered’ but expounding it with

Forgotten Heavens : Six Essays On Cosmology
$16.66cos-mol-o-gyA [kozA*molA*uhA*jee]A a”noun
1. the branch of philosophy dealing with the origin and general structure of the universe, which attempts to establish a framework that integrates time, space, the planets, stars, and other celestial phenomena.Our modern cosmology suggests that the universe can be explained through astronomy and mathematics. But this seems far too simplistic, not to mention rather dull. Are stars angels? Do satyrs truly exist? What does a seraph look like? Can demons tell the future?
What does God’s creation contain beyond the visible realm? We are not living
in a world that can be easily dissected in a laboratory. Our universe is filled with intelligence and life, and the creativity behind it can only be understood fully through the Creator. As you read these essays, sit back and enjoy learning a few things you never heard about in Sunday school.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Journey Through Acts Part 1 (Student/Study Guide)
$18.68Relive the lively first days of the young Christian church in these fifteen stirring chapters based on the first half of the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles. Fictional but believable first-century news releases from imaginary newspapers of the day further enliven this highly readable reader. Questions for thought and discussion conclude each chapter.
“I am delighted that a writer of the stature of Albert P. Stauderman is giving to the church a book that will help us reflect on the work of the Spirit in the lives of early Christians.”
Dr. Herbert W. Chilstrom, Bishop
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
“Journey Through Acts is a rare publishing event. Drawing upon a lifetime of reporting about the twentieth-century church, Al Stauderman turns his attention to the first-century church. The result is a lively “news commentary” such as readers of that time might have found in their daily newspapers. This unique updating of the biblical witness gives today’s readers unusual insights into contemporary churchlife and growth.”

Parents Of The Passion
$16.18We have heard from the disciples of our Lord. Each has told us his story time and time again. But what of those who knew Our Lord and his disciples because they had given them their life and nurtured them in Godly homes?
William Grimbol takes us into the homes of seven families in Palestine. With an eye to stressing values of a godly home and upbringing, the author helps us to imagine how the parents of Thomas, Simon the Zealot, Nathanael, Peter, Judas, James the Less, and Jesus must have felt, seeing their adult children give themselves to a cause which they did not understand — nor, in some cases, appreciate.
These seven monologs are appropriate for use at Sunday or mid-week worship during the season of Lent. Each is matched with an accompanying order of worship, which the purchaser of this publication may duplicate in quantity for use in the local congregation.
