McGriff provides some of the most timely and thought-provoking research on the lectionary texts ever made available. Included for each Sunday in the lectionary are: - A listing of the Revised Common, Roman Catholic, and Episcopal lectionary texts. - A description of the Psalm of the day. - A prayer for the day. - Commentary that is more than academic exegesis -- McGriff brings to the forefront those points in the text that relate most poignantly to our contemporary reality. - Suggested sermon titles for each of the three texts. - Themes and suggested directions for preaching on each text. - Several additional illustrations to enliven your preaching. E. Carver McGriff, one of America's premiere preachers, is a graduate of Butler University and Garrett Theological Seminary, where he was voted Best Preacher by the faculty and graduated with distinction. During his ministry at St. Luke's Methodist Church in Indianapolis, McGriff was able to expand his congregation's membership from 900 to 4,400, with Sunday attendance increasing from 300 to over 1,850. He has received an honorary degree from the University of Indianapolis and the Outstanding Alumnus award from Butler University, and was voted the Distinguished Alumnus of the year by Christian Theological Seminary. McGriff was also honored with the Sagamore of the Wabash by Indiana Governor Evan Bayh. His sermons have been distributed nationwide by the United Methodist Publishing House.
