This set contains five books: (1) Topsy-Turvy Living In The Biblical World--the world of the Bible is quite different from our own. The author says the Biblical world changes us because we begin to look at our own world in a different way...seing things from God's point of view, (2) Changing A Paradigm Or Two--the author brings to these messages on Gospel lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary many personal stories drawn from his ministry, (3) Ten Hits, One Run, Nine Errors--the author brings us face-to-face with the people in Gospel passages from the Revised Common Lectionary. Contrary to his whimsical title, readers will discover that Berger does far better than score one run in ten trips to the plate--his sermons consistently knock the ball out of the park, (4) Praying For A Whole New World--the author's messages provide a wonderful interplay between the biblical text and illustrations drawn from contemporary life. He brings the sensibilities of an accomplished jazz musician to the lectionary readings, creating new melodies that arise from the established material, (5) Living Vertically--through fascinating anecdotes and stories drawn from his experiences as a campus minister, the author applies the Gospel readings from the Revised Common Lectionary to contemporary life.
