More about Sunday by Sunday

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As a first-call pastor, I was reminded as I read Sunday by Sunday of the amazing power of the living Word proclaimed weekly and at work in the world every day. Laity and rostered leaders can be empowered through it for daily theological reflection and God conversations. This book is a blessing to all who read it.

--The Rev. Steven Peeler, St. Luke Lutheran Church, Stanton and St. Peter Lutheran Church, Pilger, Nebraska

A well-written and insightful book for those who both attend weekly worship and allow it to reverberate in their lives. We are challenged to wrestle with contemporary issues of belief and ethical practice, from alcoholism to xenophobia. The sins of God’s people are realistically portrayed, often with wry humor; but always the transformative grace of Christ abounds…and all tied to the Lord’s Day liturgy and the lectionary readings.

–Dr. Laurence Hull Stookey, Asbury United Methodist Church, Allen, Maryland and Professor Emeritus of Preaching and Worship, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC

At once earthy and insightful, Sunday by Sunday could be the diary of many Christian lives reflecting both the deep faithfulness and edgy skepticism that believers hold in their hearts. For preacher and pastor, it is a window into the life of the person in the pew. Overhearing how the scriptures and seasons of the church year guide and challenge one life is always a priceless treasure in the preacher’s tool box.

–The Rev. Dr. Mary Anderson, Incarnation Lutheran Church, Columbia, South Carolina
