Light In The Land of Shadows (First Lesson Sermon Series, Cycle B)

Light in the Land of Shadows contains sixteen sermons for Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, and Transfiguration Sundays.

This book makes connections between Old Testament themes and contemporary issues. The preacher will find it exegetically sound yet filled with illustrations and insights. The lay person will find it comprehendible and useful for exploring ultimate issues within the context of meaningful Bible study.

(The) sermons are fleshed out in normal, everyday language, grammar, and sentence structure -- Yet the faithful preacher can take comfort in the fact that they are backed up by sound biblical exegesis.
-- from the Introduction

Hal Warlick is a master at weaving a fascinating story or illustration into the sermon, dramatically portraying the scriptural message. This is Old Testament preaching at its best.

• Lighting A Fire In A Cold Room
• All Dressed Up And Somewhere To Go
• Any FAX From God Today?
• Will We Enjoy Heaven?
• Pain And Promise In The Hand Of God
