Book excerpt: This book was written for busy pastors and lay leaders who want to provide their congregations with a biblical, informative, and motivational monologue series for the Lenten season. Each monologue features a Bible character who gave something to Jesus during Holy Week, and one who had nothing to give. A children's sermon accompanies each monologue. Donald Neidigk is a gifted communicator who brings the Passion Story to life through the eyes of eight personalities. Through creatively burrowing into the minds of those touched by Jesus, the author brings fresh, convincing perspectives to the week that changed the world. Paul L. Maier, Ph.D. Department of History Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan Here is the ancient story of Holy Week, retold in colorful and vivid detail. With a sure hand Pastor Neidigk draws us into the spiritual depths of the Lenten season and snaps on a string of revealing lights... Neidigk is a story teller, revisiting people and places from the greatest story ever told. Bruce L. Shelley Senior Professor, Denver Seminary author of Church History In Plain Language The texts read very well, but they are obviously meant to be spoken. Like the scriptures, they are far more powerful when presented orally... it is likely that those listening will find themselves being drawn into the setting and becoming part of the event. Erich E. Helge, Ed.D. Donald H. Neidigk earned his B.S. degree from New Mexico State University and his M.Div. degree from the Denver Seminary. He completed additional graduate study at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Pastor Neidigk currently serves Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

This affordable booklet is perfectly suited for use during the Lenten season through wide distribution in parishes, schools, universities, and many other settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality--something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says: following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes. Drawing on his experience as a professor and father living with incurable cancer, Billings offers a personal yet deeply theological account of the gospel's expansive hope for small, mortal creatures. Artfully weaving rich theology with powerful narrative, Billings writes for church leaders and laypeople alike. Whether we are young or old, reeling from loss or clinging to our own prosperity, this book challenges us to walk a strange but wondrous path: in the midst of joy and lament, to receive mortal limits as a gift, an opportunity to give ourselves over to the Lord of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is often at work through the ordinary: ordinary people, ordinary objects, ordinary grace. Through the ordinary, God communicates epiphanies, salvation, revelation, and reconciliation. It is through the mundane that we hear Gods quiet voice. In this devotion for the season of Lent, Jill J. Duffield draws readers attention to ten ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem: dust, bread, the cross, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones. In each object, readers will find meaning in the biblical account of Jesus final days. Each week, readers encounter a new object to consider through Scripture, prayer, and reflection. From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Lent in Plain Sight reminds Christians to open ourselves to the kingdom of God.
