Download or read book Holy E mail written by Dallas A. Brauninger and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern Christians yearn for a deeper spiritual life, a relevant relationship with a God who still matters and who thinks we still matter. However, Dallas Brauninger tells us, we are not good at listening and talking with God. What we are good at is hurling questions at the Almighty -- and Brauninger says that questions are what we are all about if we are to continue to grow spiritually. And so is confession. We doubt. We fear. We stretch to the limits of our patience. We wonder if tenacity will prevail or if we will sink. We have moments of bliss and ponder anew the mystery of God. We wonder and grieve about the world. Brauninger believes that question and confession are two forms of our prayer -- and for many of us, these conversations with God are as brief and instant as an e-mail. In Holy E-Mail, she inventively casts fourteen sermons based on Cycle A lectionary epistle texts in the form of extended e-mail messages to God. It's as if congregations and pastors were privy to someone's private ponderings that reflect our own spiritual roaming. This volume is not only a creative resource for preachers; it's also directed to the everyday person in the pew. Crafted to help hearers connect with God and each other, these sermons address universal queries of the human soul. By uniting sermon with prayer, they're excellent for use as readings for personal meditation. Brauninger takes the reader on a spiritual journey from the beginning of Advent through the Transfiguration of our Lord.... This book offers much food for thought as you prepare sermons... not only will your mind be stretched, your soul will be inspired as you read. (from the Introduction) Clarence M. "Clip" Higgins Former Conference Minister, Nebraska and Ohio Conferences United Church of Christ Dallas Brauninger writes with the discernment of a saint and the ear of a poet.... These sermons are a joy to read. They are a joy because they are crafted by one who is a master with language. They are a joy because they track life carefully. They are a joy because they expose deep recesses of the soul that light seldom reaches. They are a joy because they prompt each of us to reflect on our own faith pilgrimage. Most of all, they are a joy because they affirm God who offers joy not just to some, but to all. Dr. George S. Worcester Conference Minister, Nebraska Conference United Church of Christ To me the hallmark of a good sermon has always been the new pathways of thought and insight which it opens up for me long after hearing or reading it. These are GOOD sermons. Rachel S. Scott Bemidji, Minnesota Dallas A. Brauninger, a cum laude graduate of Albion College, received her Master of Divinity degree and an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Chicago Theological Seminary. A full-time writer, she has served churches in Colorado and Nebraska. She and her husband, both ordained ministers in the United Church of Christ, live in Friend, Nebraska.

Book excerpt: Fay Rae Lambers is caught between two men... Dangerously appealing Simeon, who has awakened her long-dormant sexuality, and Michael, the brooding son of her late mentor. Rae and Michael have each inherited half of his father's estate, and are sharing a large house as they renovate it. Being around Michael has rekindled the torch Rae carried for him as a young girl-but when Rae is with Simeon, everyone and everything else fades into the background, including the creepy souvenir Rae brought back from her Egyptian vacation. Rae was warned the deck of tarot cards was dangerous. She was told to throw the cards into the sea, to not look upon them lest she set free evil spirits. The psychic she consults insists that the dark spirit of the Tarot has taken form as one of the men in Rae's life. Rae must figure out whether the Dark Lord of the Forbidden Tarot is Simeon or Michael before she loses her heart... and possibly her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the unadulterated true life story of how God brought me from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly with all the messy stages in between! Through many trials and tribulations, my life is being shaped into the person God intends me to be. The Bible says in Ephesians 5:8-10, 20 (KJV), "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of the light: For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth: Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name our Lord Jesus Christ." The author wants to thank all her family and friends, for it is not our beginning that determines our ending, but it is our repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ and His blood covenant that restores our relationships and saves our lives. Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Which cross is your cross? We all must choose one, no matter what. Jesus has the middle. The cross on the right is salvation, and the one on the left is for unbelievers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lectionary passages from the Gospel of Matthew for the middle section of the Pentecost season raise many difficult questions of faith for modern Christians. In eleven eloquent and well-illustrated messages, Marilyn Saure Breckenridge examines these questions and searches for relevant answers. She notes that while these texts confront us with our human limitations, they also demonstrate how God's grace embraces us. Her ability to combine the scripture with contemporary applications makes these inspiring examples of the art of preaching at its finest. Sermon titles include: - What Is Priceless? (Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52) - Are You A Risk Taker? (Matthew 14:22-33) - Who Is Jesus To You? (Matthew 16:13-20) - Is Big Brother Watching You? (Matthew 18:15-20) - Why Doesn't God Do Something? (Matthew 21:33-46) Marilyn Saure Breckenridge is the senior pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Wadena, Minnesota. She has also served as assistant to the bishop of the ELCA's Saint Paul Area Synod, and as associate pastor at Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Minneapolis. Breckenridge had the honor of being the Minnesota Senate Chaplain for 1995 and 1996. She is a graduate of Augsburg College (B.A.), Hartford Seminary (M.A. in Christian Education), and Luther Seminary (M.Div. and D.Min.). In 1994 Augsburg College named Breckenridge a Distinguished Alumna.
