  Mysterious Joy Cycle C

  $13.95

  “Rejoice! It’s Lent.” If you have always felt that way, but have been taught that Lent is supposed to be a somber, mournful time — if you’ve always believed that “Because Jesus lives in us, we face Lent with joy in our hearts” — you will appreciate Carl Hoefler’s new collection of seventeen refreshingly upbeat sermons for Lent and Easter.
  Within this collection are sermons for every Cycle C First Lesson text during Lent and Easter in the Common lectionary, including:
  – Names, Not Numbers
  – The Secret of Survival
  – Holy Hunger
  – The Symphony of God
  – No Grey Areas
  – The Same New Jesus
  and eleven more.
  Use these complete sermons as they are presented — or as creative inspiration for your own original messages.

  Sevenfold Path To Peace

  $12.95

  Jesus made peace by the blood of his cross. What more appropriate theme for a Lenten preaching series could there be than “The Sevenfold Path to Peace”? Here is a sample of this skillful proclaimer’s insight (from the first sermon):
  “I saw a sixth grader, on his way up the alley to school, throw a firecracker over the fence of our yard and into the chicken coop. I was as angry as I ever have been in my whole life. The chase was on! Down the alley, a hesitating wonder as to how he had vanished into thin air, spotting him darting from under a bush like a rabbit, over a five-and-a-half foot wall, then over a six-and-a-half foot back wall, I took the gate, across the church parking lot, and finally trapped him under the camper parked in a neighbor’s yard. Winded and outaged, I yelled that I wanted to “kill” him, but instead took him to the school principal to do the disciplining. I didn’t like the feeling that raged in me. I was even frightened by it. I certainly experienced the truth of the words of Eleanor of Aquitaine: “We are the origin of war.””
  Messages include:
  – Is Peace Attainable?
  – Desire Peace
  – Peacemaking: Active, not Passive
  – Peace as Shalom
  – The Gift of Peace
  – Peace Through Sacrifice
  – Proclaim Peace

  At Noon On Friday

  $8.95

  At Noon On Friday is a volume of reflections on the seven last words of Jesus as he hung on the cross. In his usual masterly fashion, Dr. Richard C. Hoefler holds up before his listeners the cross of Christ and calls for a devotional response not merely an intellectual one. The goal of these sermons is to prompt something important, different and decisive to happen to both speaker and listener. They were written in such a way as to create an experience of participating in the three hours our Lord suffered. In the author’s words: “The seven words of Christ are like seven panels of one single stained glass window, reflecting forth the light of the total act of our Lord’s crucifixion.”

  Passion Play

  $11.95

  Passion Play offers a series of six brief sketches for Lent or Holy Week which focus on three people who knew Jesus very well: Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. Through their eyes we see some of the major events of the Gospel, in particular those final days in the life of Jesus. Passion Play is a simple production; characters wear modern day dress and there is only one “set.” Passion Play presents a sensitive insight concerning Jesus’ affect on others, in his life and in his death on a cross.
