This Week On WORD up! June 30, 2008

We've got something for everyone on my blog this week.

Stop by today to read my review and an excerpt from a non-fiction work titled "When Did My Life Become A Game Of Twister?" by Mary Pierce. In a humorous way, the author confronts how we are inclined to let "life" get us twisted in knots.

Tuesday's feature is "A Mile In My Flip Flops" by Melody Carlson. She is an incredible author.

Wednesday features a wonderful non-fiction book for married couples. "The Five Senses Of Romantic Love" is a frank book on physical intimacy in marriage based upon the Song of Solomon.

Thursday's offering, "Beyond the Night", is an amazing work of dramatic fiction.

Friday showcases a devotional title: "Faith In The Fog Of War".

As always, please stop by, check out the reviews and leave comments about what you think. Peruse the blog archive for previously reviewed books, Bible studies and devotionals. Sign up for my weekly newsletter to be notified when new articles are posted automatically.

And COMING SOON...

...a book contest! WIN A COPY of "A Passion Most Pure" by Julie Lessman. This is an amazing historical romance novel! Beginning Tuesday, July 1st, leave a comment (including your email address) on ANY post AND sign up for my newsletter, and I will enter you to win a copy of the book directly from the publisher! The drawing will be held on Wednesday, July 16th.

...online Bible study! I'll be posting notes and thoughts, and you can participate in discussion by leaving comments. So, even though we may not be able to meet in the same room, we can still share our thoughts on scripture. I'll keep you posted.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
