While sermons are events meant for particular people in particular places facing particular concerns, Peterson reminds us that a prayerful imagination can supply much of what might be lost in translation from pulpit to page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Presbyterian Readers and Beyond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresbyterians are people of the Word and people of the word—shaped by both the preaching of the gospel and the witness of scripture through written language. This collection honors that dual tradition, offering sermons that use words to express the Christian faith in ways that lead readers to think, act, and live beyond presenting possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Find Inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese sermons provide insight into how Christ is at work through the pages of scripture, through the voice of the preacher, and through the ministry of the congregation.
