Overview

Bruce Taylor's latest publication of sermons for the Common Lectionary (Revised) covers the Sundays and major feast days of Year B, from the first Sunday of Advent through the seventh Sunday of Easter, and includes a sermon delivered for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in an ecumenical setting. Like The Word in the Wind and No Business as Usual, this latest volume is theologically rich, sacramentally sensitive, and biblically centered, while offering a testimony to the unity of the whole church and a deep appreciation of the church's heritage and contemporary relevance. Included here are examples of story sermons, showing how this genre can be used effectively in communicating the biblical witness. Looking Up at Love offers encouragement to preachers seeking to help their congregations discover the treasures of the liturgical year and provides all readers with a devotional companion for faithful reflection on Mark's Gospel and the accompanying Scripture readings commended for use in Christian worship.

The Rev. Dr. Bruce Taylor's sermons in this volume are carefully crafted in balance between the historical knowledge of biblical texts and creative insights into contemporary implications of the texts. His conversational language invites readers to engage in a search for the relevant meaning of the ancient text in relation to their lived experiences. A theologically profound, pastorally thoughtful, and socially prophetic voice! --Eunjoo Mary Kim, Professor of Homiletics and Liturgics, Iliff School of Theology There can be no doubt that Bruce Taylor is called to preach. Every sermon in this book is his best. His real gift, though, is storytelling. Bruce can open the Scriptures on any page and bring the well-known and less-known figures in the text to life. Reading this collection is like meeting his closest friends and hearing them tell their tales firsthand. Bruce knows these people and their stories, and he invites us to know them too. --Dana Hughes, Transitional Presbytery Pastor, Denver Presbytery
