Intrusive Word A Print On Demand Title
$19.99
The Intrusive Word follows William H. Willimon’s widely acclaimed Peculiar Speech: Preaching to the Baptized. Whereas the latter pondered the implications of speaking week after week to the believer, this volume considers what it means to preach to those who have not yet heard the gospel in its life-changing, disruptive fullness.
The Intrusive Word presents preaching as an act of evangelism in today’s church. In his lively, pointed, and at times humorous style, Willimon shows how today’s pastors must revise their preaching task as part of the church’s joyful attempt to proclaim Christ. Each chapter is followed by one of Willimon’s own sermons illustrating his concerns in a practical, biblical way.
Readers of this book will experience rebirth and renewal in their own lives as the Word of God gracefully intrudes. Pastors and students of homiletics will find imaginative models of evangelistic preaching that demonstrate that “preaching in the service of anything less than a living, intrusive God is not worth the effort.”

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
