For God's Sake, Do Something!

About the Book

Filling a gap in Christian literature for sermons based on the Old Testament from a Christian perspective, For God's Sake, Do Something! intentionally connects the Old Testament with issues of current spiritual and theological interest in the contemporary church. The author combines good homiletical technique with sensitivity to the deeper theological and exegetical concerns of the biblical text. Each sermon passage, offering a fresh, new translation of the ancient Scripture, has been carefully translated from the Hebrew original by the author. Pastors and lay ministers engaged in the preaching task will find these sermons useful for their own thinking and preparation in dealing with the topics they address. All Christians will find them both encouraging and challenging for their own devotional and spiritual life.
