Cowherding Christians: Sermons for Sundays After Pentecost (First Third): Cycle a Gospel Texts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781556731280)

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.
