  Cowherding Christians Cycle A

  $12.95

  If you and your parishioners don’t know much about sheep, you might find a shepherding Savior difficult to fathom; but if you grew up on a family farm anywhere in rural America, you might know something about cows. And you just might find it easier to relate to a cowherding Savior. It is this type of familiar, experiential approach to God’s word that makes this collection of model homilies so unique — and so meaningful.
  Messages include:
  – Where Are the Lilies Now?
  – Jesus’ Hospital
  – Cowherding Christians
  – A House for God
  and seven more!
  For use with Common, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic lectionary texts

  6 Presents From God

  $12.95

  Advent is a time to think about gifts. Who should receive them? How much should they cost? What do the people on our list “need” most of all? We scramble every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, trying to “take care of our gift list.”

  Here is a refreshing second look at the whole area of giving and receiving gifts. When all is said and done, it is not us but God who is the gift-giver. By his rich giving we are graced for life and for eternity. Throughout the season of Advent and Christmas, share with members of your congregation the good news of God’s enormous generosity. Look together at the “gift list ” God assembled for us once where shepherds watched and angels sang.

  These six sermons are each supplemented with simple object lessons for young children. The author focuses on God’s gifts to us of:
  Angels
  Mary
  Shepherds
  Wisemen
  The baby Jesus
  Joseph
