Seasons of Grace: Reflections from the Christian Year

Disproving the old adage, ``Those who can, do; those who can't, teach,'' Princeton homiletics professor Kay effectively combines well-researched biblical scholarship with contemporary stories and a commendable economy of words in this collection of zesty sermons. Grouped according to the seasons of the church year, nearly half of the 18 pieces have Lent/Easter themes. Kay infuses these familiar topics with fresh perspective, featuring in several of them women of biblical times. Laced with contemporary applications and a good understanding of the complexities of present-day lives, this collection will prove itself a rich devotional resource for clergy and laity alike during both Lent and the remainder of the church year.
