Preaching is a challenging, privileged, and awesome responsibility. As important as mining the text for its meaning and message and making connections to our twenty-first-century world is the responsibility to engage the imaginations of the people in the pews (or chairs). In this book, Ray Friesen—life-long preacher and retired pastor—has provided twenty examples of how to be creative and engage those imaginations. Most were written under the pressures of bi-vocational ministry (preaching forty times a year as half-time pastor and operating a mediation practice). They are offered to you, not as sermons for you to preach, but as examples of what is possible, even with all the other responsibilities you may have. Each sermon and type of creativity will create an opportunity to set your imagination and creativity free to engage the imaginations, hearts, and dreams of your parishioners.

Ray R. Friesen is a retired pastor, having spent the last twenty years as a pastor in two different Mennonite Church Canada congregations in southwest Saskatchewan. He continues to operate his own mediation practice and is a member of the local Kiwanis club. He is a firm believer that preachers must have a community-involved life outside the congregation. He and his wife, Sylvia, have two adult daughters, Larissa and Rachelle.
