Taken Up and Preached


Book Description

Faithful biblical sermons not only attempt to capture what the biblical text says, but also what the text is trying to do. Biblical sermons will take direction from both the content and the intent of the biblical text. In Taken Up and Preached, Blayne Banting supplies examples of sermons from his own preaching ministry to illustrate the Homiletical Bridge methodology he developed in his previous book Take Up and Preach: A Primer for Interpreting Preaching Texts (2016).

Among Other Things, I've Taken Up Smoking


Book Description

Critically acclaimed by reviewers across the country, Aoibheann Sweeney's beautifully written debut novel is a story of the profound human need for intimacy. For Miranda, the adolescence spent in her fog-shrouded Maine home has been stark and isolated-alone with her troubled father, a man consumed with his work translating Ovid's Metamorphoses, her mother mysteriously gone from their lives. Now, having graduated from high school, Miranda's father arranges for her to stay with old friends in Manhattan, and she embarks on a journey that will open up her father's past and her own world, in ways she cannot begin to imagine.
