The connections he makes between the world of scripture and ours are colorful and compelling. An expert storyteller, he weaves intriguing tales that subtly blend the threads of the biblical world with the threads of our daily lives.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dr. Jana Childers\u003cbr\u003e Professor of Homiletics\u003cbr\u003e San Francisco Theological Seminary \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAs one who does not usually get much out of sermon books, I can happily say that these sermons were very helpful! Professor Rogers has not only given some great stories and content for us to chew on, but even more importantly, has modeled a way of preaching in story that can readily be utilized in the pulpit.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pastor William Crabtree Senior Pastor\u003cbr\u003e Emmanuel Lutheran Church\u003cbr\u003e Lodi, California \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThomas G. Rogers writes that the drama of God's word is not a story to be observed by spectators at a distance. God invites each of us to be full participants in this drama. It is his hope the stories in these sermons may be preached and heard not simply as stories about someone else, but that God may grant Christians the grace to experience them as our own, once we step inside them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe ten sermons in this book are based on First Lesson texts.
