This is a book for the journey--that ultimate human quest for a faith that is real, that makes sense in the lives we live today. It doesn't offer glib answers or easy solutions. It refuses to stop at religious slogans on the one hand or theological gibberish on the other. Instead, in twelve sermons offered as a series on "Theology in a Practical Key" at the great Country Club Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri, it seeks to bring classical Christian teachings to those places where the water hits the wheel, the rubber hits the road, and doctrines of the church collide with life as we live it day by day. Because "Bible truth is story truth," the sermons often tell stories, from both real life and legend. Because the Christian life as God intended it is a life of joy, the sermons are seriously playful, laced with wit and humor. Because the goal is to "make things make sense," the writing is down to earth, readable, often "homey." The Reader may not only En-Joy this work but also find his or her own New Truth in an Old, Old Story.
