Book description
Bruce Taylor's latest publication of sermons for the Common Lectionary (Revised) covers the Sundays and major feast days of Year B, from the first Sunday of Advent through the seventh Sunday of Easter, and includes a sermon delivered for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in an ecumenical setting. Like The Word in the Wind and No Business as Usual, this latest volume is theologically rich, sacramentally sensitive, and biblically centered, while offering a testimony to the unity of the whole church and a deep appreciation of the church's heritage and contemporary relevance. Included here are examples of story sermons, showing how this genre can be used effectively in communicating the biblical witness. Looking Up at Love offers encouragement to preachers seeking to help their congregations discover the treasures of the liturgical year and provides all readers with a devotional companion for faithful reflection on Mark's Gospel and the accompanying Scripture readings commended for use in Christian worship.
