Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit, Series Vi, Cycle C
David Leininger
This volume is just what any pastor needs when looking for something special to spice up a Sunday sermon - it's full of imaginative and inspirational meditations that breathe new life into scripture texts from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary. Leininger gives readers a new perspective on a passage from each week's assigned readings with a thought-provoking reflection that puts in the context of modern life. This is much more than just a source of stimulating sermon illustrations - it's also a treasure chest of devotional reading that will make any reader pause and reflect on God's wonderful hand at work in our daily activities. It's a must-have resource for any church library. Some of the intriguing chapters are: ? The Speed Bump on the Road to Bethlehem ? Silly Goose ? Love Your Enemy? Are You Kidding, Lord? ? Sonny Moneybags ? The Judas Gene ? The Forgiveness Business ? Trouble in the Parsonage ? Pax Christi or Pox Christi? ? The Locust Years ...and many more! David E. Leininger had planned be a "pastor out to pasture" and retire from active ministry at the end of 2008, but God had other plans. Instead of chasing little white balls around a proverbial pasture, he is now the interim pastor of Dorchester Presbyterian Church in Summerville, South Carolina. He has previously served congregations in Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. A graduate of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (M. Div) and Erskine Theological Seminary (D. Min.), Leininger is the author of six books: A Color-Blind Church; God of Justice: A Look at the Ten Commandments in the 21st Century; As We Believe, So We Behave: Living the Apostles' Creed; and three volumes of Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit. He has also been a contributing writer for the online services StoryShare and The Immediate Word (www.sermonsuite.com).
