Invitation To John Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$19.99Add to cartThe early church chose to keep four Gospel accounts of the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Three of the Gospels are very similar to each other; the Gospel of John, however, stands apart. In it Jesus speaks not in parables, but in lengthy discourses. He talks with Nicodemus, a Samaritan woman, and Mary Magdalene; he turns water into wine, calls Lazarus from the tomb, and washes his disciples’ feet. Readers linger over Jesus’ great promises.

Preaching John
$25.00Add to cartThe Gospel of John and 1 John exhibit a peculiar Christian language and thought that need to be understood and employed in the preaching ministry. The preacher’s task involves penetrating the thick and often confusing language of the Gospel and comprehending its frequently paradoxical theology. The preacher can find new and powerful resources for preaching in Johannine language and thought, as well as its use of narrative and discourse. These discoveries facilitate preaching John in ways that are consistent with recent trends in homiletic theory. The method of this book is to combine the practical (how to preach John) with proposals for understanding the Gospel and 1 John. The author offers a variety of sermon ideas and designs throughout each chapter based on numerous passages selected from the Revised Common Lectionary.

Called To Care
$18.00Add to cartTreating the whole of Scripture, Robert Kysar forges the connections between the practice of social ministry and the biblical images undergirding and motivating that ministry.
