Yes, preaching must use words ...

and I very much appreciate Dr. Liftin's saying so. As a teacher of preaching, I too have grown more than a bit weary and wary of St. Francis' popular pearl of wisdom. Long ago, P. T. Forsyth reminded us that "preaching is not ethic." Actions may often speak louder than words, but actions are not substitute for preaching the name of Jesus. Only words can do that.

A follow up on an earlier football post

Those who saw this earlier post on the University of Dubuque's star football prospect, Michael Zweifel, will be interested in this.

#13 on Amazon's list of "Hot New Releases in Christian Ministry"

Hard to say how these lists get produced, but as of 10:00AM, May 30, 2012, Year D was officially "hot," or at least 13th hottest!

Kindle resources available in Amazon's European sites

For the benefit of our international visitors, my publisher informs me that Kindle and print editions for both Year D and Groans of the Spirit are now available from Amazon's sites in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.

"All I can say is Hurray!"

Many thanks to the Rev. David Corder for his cordial thumbs up at his blog, The Outward Quest.

Cascade Books picks up Liturgical Elements for Reformed Worship

Late last year, Cascade Books, the imprint of Wipf & Stock that has just published Year D: A Quadrennial Supplement ..., picked up my four volume series, Liturgical Elements for Reformed Worship (Years A—D). The volumes for Years B and D were each sent in to the publisher (January 2012), and should be available by year's end (I know, bad timing on Year B, but it was complete and ready to go). Hopefully, Year C will be done before that cycle completes, and Year A soon after that.

Meanwhile, see Trinity Sunday (Year B), June 3, 2012, for a sampling of the forthcoming volume of LERW. I hope you find it useful.

Thanks to the inimitable Glenn Reynolds ...

... of Instapundit, "Blogfather" of the internet, for this "In the Mail" plug! This plug was on the top of his stack when I arrived home from church this Pentecost Sunday. Happy Pentecost, Professor Reynolds!
