When You Work for the Church

This Ordinary, Extraordinary Life (CSS Publishing, 2023) is a collection of sermons about the ordinary, extraordinary life of Jesus—and about you and me and the ordinary, extra-ordinary life we live each day.

Grace breaks in to the routine of daily living. Ordinary bread becomes a sign of God’s kingdom. Ordinary water becomes a sign of God’s living presence among us. Miracles become possible. Love and forgiveness transform our relationships. Hope abides even in the midst of disappointment and suffering. Death gives way to eternal life. (page 7)

As a book of sermons, This Ordinary, Extraordinary Life is meant to assist preachers in their sermon preparation and to serve as a resource for small groups and personal study. The book is available from CSS Publishing, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and your favourite on-line or local bookstore.
