Book Description
The collection of inspirational stories, food for thought, famous quotes, and humor is the result of more than ten years as senior pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee, and more than thirty-eight years of preaching and teaching. It is my hope that clergy and professional speakers as well as ordinary individuals will become better communicators in any setting using this easy to read and absorb material. It is also my hope that this collection will mentally stimulate the reader to do or feel something, especially to do something creative and spontaneous. Quoting from Mother Theresa: "The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or Leprosy, it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared-for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty . . . it is not only the poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God." (Mother Theresa, A Simple Path: Mother Theresa) In most of the inspirational stories, you will be able to experience God's love for humankind and His love for you, and at the same time demonstrate your love for God through your love for neighbor as suggested by Mother Teresa's quote. Even though I'm very acquainted with the section on humor, I find myself laughing out loud each time I revisit this section. If you are an introvert (quiet or your attention is mainly on yourself), this humor will make you an extrovert (active and expressive) and the life of any gathering, because almost everyone loves humor. Make this book a treasured addition to your library and one you will gladly recommend to others. It is my fervent prayer that through this effort I am leaving the wood pile a little higher than I found it. Jesus loves you and so do I! Reverend Wesley Louis Moss, at eighty-one years young, is Associate Minister of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia. Reverend Ken Jelks is senior pastor.

Book Description
Everyone remembers and enjoys a good story -- and heartfelt stories touch us in ways nothing else can. Jesus used stories or parables to emphasize his points and lead his listeners to look at themselves and examine their motivations. This collection of stories illustrating biblical passages from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary will touch your soul. Berg speaks to the person in the pew with accounts drawn from conversations with people, observations of everyday life, and a vast arena of literature. "Each story in Constance Berg's lovely book is a pleasure to read. She writes with real wisdom and with gentle sensitivity and warmth." Marjorie Holmes, author Manassas, Virginia "In her writing Constance Berg blends the gritty wisdom of a "prairie sage" with the delightful observations of a theologian. Her writing comes from real-life experiences, and her stories ring with the authenticity of her faithful witness. Faith and life meet together in Constance Berg's latest work." Bob Sitze Associate Director for Ministry in Daily Life Resources Division for Congregational Ministries, ELCA "The material in this book will give insights to those who need encouragement and hope for daily problems in life ... Berg has a flair for using simple illustrations and making them meaningful." Barbara Johnson SPATULA Ministries La Habra, California Constance Berg is a rostered assistant pastor in Grand Forks, North Dakota, as well as an editor and writer for Augsburg Fortress Press. She also has served as a missionary to Chiapas, Mexico. Berg holds degrees from California State University and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, and has done graduate work at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California.

Book Description
Jesus was a master storyteller, and his preaching was filled with parables because he knew his listeners would relate to them -- and therefore connect with his message. Likewise, insightful and well-told stories are an essential element of the contemporary preacher's toolbox; they are invariably what people remember long after the sermon is over. If you're looking for a collection of fresh, imaginative, and inspirational stories that's sure to help you create dynamic sermons, Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit is just the resource for you. Gregory Tolle sheds new light on Cycle B lectionary texts with modern parables that take you right to the heart of the scriptural witness. His thought-provoking reflections remind us that God's grace is always present, especially in places and events we least expect to find it. Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit is a wonderful source for memorable preaching illustrations and ""sermon starters"" -- and it's also uplifting devotional reading that powerfully demonstrates how the Lord works in our daily lives. Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit offers readers an array of stories from everyday situations that make scripture texts even more relevant for the person in the pew. Tolle shares insights from renowned philosophers and theologians as well as his own experience as husband, father, and pastor, and offers spiritual wisdom in a way that will captivate listeners. For the preacher who needs an occasional jump-start, Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit will be a helpful and much appreciated resource. Woodie W. White Bishop-in-Residence Candler School of Theology, Emory University Greg Tolle offers contemporary and insightful illustrations -- as fresh as the morning's newspaper -- to bring the Biblical message to life. Used to supplement lectionary sermons or to spark spiritual and homiletic creativity, Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit will enhance every minister's library. I highly recommend this book to anyone who endeavors to preach relevant sermons that people will remember for a long time to come. William G. Grice III Pastor, First Congregational Church (UCC) Des Plaines, Illinois Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit is a compilation of stories from the author's own life, literature, and contemporary films from which preachers can glean some nourishing nuggets. Alyce McKenzie Assistant Professor of Homiletics Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University Gregory L. Tolle is the senior minister at First United Methodist Church in Durant, Oklahoma. He is a graduate of Oklahoma City University (B.A. in Religion) and Texas Christian University (M.Div.).
