Bücher von Steven E. Burt

Many who preach from the lectionary are drawn to the gospel for their sermon focus. Yet Steve Burt's alluring treatment of these first lesson texts will stimulate the desire to proclaim the captivating tales drawn from these Old Testament lessons. In many ways it is easier for the contemporary hearer to identify with these Old Testament characters. They are less perfect, approachable, very human in their faith struggles and in many respects much like us.Titles include:• What Do You Do When Life Ain't Fair? (Genesis 29:15-28)• The Face of God (Genesis 32:22-31)• Need Help Removing that Roadblock? (Exodus 14:19-31)• But You Can't Get Water Out of a Rock! (Exodus 17:1-7)Steven Burt is a nationally known small church consultant, author, and lecturer.

Could Things Get Any Weirder in Wells, Maine?Working at her mother's hole-in-the-wall bookstore, Annie's Book Stop, 17-year-old Keegan has read plenty of mysteries. But she's never been part of one. Until now.It starts when someone--or some THING--burglarizes a different business in Wells, Toil & Trouble. It specializes in occult, magic, and rare books. The thief steals an obscure book of little interest except possibly to a collector.Things get stranger when a visitor appearing to be a hunchbacked nun comes into Annie's Book Stop and asks Keegan to order a reprint of the same book--plus two books on local graveyards! But before they can be picked up, a robed and hooded figure breaks into Annie's after hours and rifles through the special-orders shelf. Is there more to this book than meets the eye?More questions come up, but the most important one is: Can Keegan survive long enough to unravel the big secrets of her small town?
