Valuable Resource

My Rector gave me this book at the beginning of Advent this Christian calender. I have several other resources to assist with sermon preparation but I immediately took a liking to this one. It is well organized along by focussing on the readings of each successive Sunday (and Holy Day) of the seasons rather than by the books of the New Testament. This is helpful in many ways. For example, each service date starts with a summation of the theme of that date. The readings are listed and variations within denominations are identified. There is a discussion of each text and a section on the "response" to each text. Some of the responses may include a story you've heard a time or two. However, the reader will usually get some help with direction which, after all, is why you would get a book like this in the first place. My best recommendation for the book is that I have ordered the next one now that this one has come to the end of the section of the church's calender that it covers.
