I am particularly excited about my new book from Alban, because I wrote it for people who listen to sermons and their preachers to read together. I describe the book as a "conversation starter." It invites groups within congregations to use preaching to talk about leadership, worship, the purposes of preaching, faith and daily life, Christian community, congregational mission, and the future. By discovering the diverse perspectives present in congregations on these topics, I hope faith communities will become better prepared to discuss the hot topics that they face. I am using it my own congregation, and the conversations are very satisfying. I am looking forward to teaching a course using the book this summer for both M.Div. and D.Min. students. See the link below--When God Speaks through You--to learn more about the book.
