This Week On WORD up! July 20, 2008

There's something for everyone on the blog this week!

This is Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy week on my blog. This month, we are featuring Donita Paul's "DragonLight".

Stop by Monday to read an excerpt from "Watcher In The Woods" by Robert Liparulo. This is a suspense title geared toward a teen audience.

Tuesday's book is a wonderful fiction offering from MaryLu Tyndall called “The Falcon and the Sparrow.” She is the author of a wonderful, swashbuckling pirate series.

Wednesday offers a preview of Elaine Littau’s “Nan’s Journey”, the touching story of two children escaping the violence of an abusive home.

Thursday’s non-fiction title is “Be Last” by Jeremy Kingsley which focuses on how different our vision is from God’s.

Friday through Sunday showcases a blog tour of three books by T. Suzanne Eller and a great contest: a basket containing the author’s books and several goodies! You will not want to miss this!

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...

...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. Stop by the blog on September 3rd for the first installment of “Faithful Love in Human Relationships”, a study of the book of Ruth. :)
Have a blessed week!

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
