Joyful Defiance encourages readers to reflect on experiences of anxiety, anger, exhaustion, and grief, emotions not always welcomed in the Christian tradition.

Preaching the Headlines: Possibilities and Pitfalls

Preaching the Headlines reframes preaching as an ongoing conversation between the modern world and the world of the biblical text.

The goal of the book is to provide a process to aid preachers in doing theological reflection on the everyday world as an integral part of sermon development.
