I have appreciated reading these suggestive sermons. They are fresh and interesting, connected to both scripture and real life in imaginative ways. McLean invites one out of the box, always a good idea with the gospel. Walter Brueggemann __________________ This collection of sermons reflects both my sense of call and the diverse ways I have felt called to fulfill it. Some of the sermons were from a summer series I did called "Faith in the Real World" which was built upon questions submitted by the congregation. They asked, and I tried to answer. But otherwise the sermons are unrelated one to another, inspired by the Lectionary, the newspaper, and the Spirit. They are a cross-section of my attempts to make the Gospel relevant and accessible.
