About this title

Synopsis

Emilio Lopez received a surprise phone call from his bishop one day. "Would you be interested in a call to a white congregation in a neighborhood that is becoming Hispanic? I think you're just the kind of pastor they need in these days of transition."
-- from the Advent 1 story

Here are 56 short stories for use in preaching. Each is a contemporary adaptation of a biblical theme.
