Praying For A Whole New World Cycle C

$14.95

A history professor told me that the earliest Protestants in America discouraged the celebration of Christmas. “It’s too much fun,” the Puritans reasoned, “and the Gospel of Jesus Christ requires our utmost seriousness.” (from the Introduction)

At a time of year which is often as stressful and exhausting as it is exhilarating, William Carter reminds us that while holiday celebrations will fade into winter gloom, Jesus Christ, the Light that casts no shadow, remains at the center of our faith and lives. This collection of 17 sermons based on the Revised Common Lectionary is for readers who wish to take the Gospel seriously during a season when commercialism and social activities can be overwhelming.

Carter’s messages provide a wonderful interplay between the biblical text and illustrations drawn from contemporary life. He brings the sensibilities of an accomplished jazz musician to the lectionary readings, creating new melodies that arise from the established material — some in counterpoint to the scripture, others elaborating upon the original tune. The sermons of this outstanding preacher are inspiring reading for both clergy and laypeople!
