A Christian year of fifty-two invitations to communion Some
scholars suggest that every meal in literature is a communion
scene. Could every meal in the Bible be a communion text? The
Lord's Supper is betrayal in the upper room, but it is also dinner
in Emmaus and breakfast by the Sea of Tiberias. Could every passage
be an invitation to God's grace? At the Lord's Table we experience
sorrow, hope, gratitude, friendship, and forgiveness. These
meditations on the Lord's Supper help us listen to the myriad of
ways God invites us to gratefully, reverently, and joyfully share
the cup of Christ.
The Lighter Side is a collection of humorous, yet meaningful
observations about life and faith, including "Windshield Wiper
Wisdom," "The Young and the Waistless, the Old and the Beautiful,"
and "The Joy of Sox." "With his trademark self-deprecating humor
and insights that are at once pastoral and prophetic, Brett
Younger's columns are Grady Nutt Meets Dave Barry Meets Zephaniah."
-Julie Pennington-Russell, Senior Pastor First Baptist Church,
Decatur, GA. "Throughout my life, I have found that the ability to
see a bit of humor in even the most difficult of circumstances has
been a 'grace gift' that has stood me in good stead. Anne Lamott
calls laughter 'carbonated holiness.' I am delighted to have
Brett's 'humorously holy' ramblings gathered into one
spirit-lifting volume." -Clarissa Stirckland, Networking
Specialist, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship "Brett Younger is one
the funniest people I know. And, he's a Baptist preacher. Now
that's funny." -Bert Montgomery, Author, Teacher, Minister "Brett
Younger reminds me of the late, great Grady Nutt. He's a witty
humorist who deploys laughter in service of divine insight. Just
when you think you're guffawing at his insanely imaginative
observations, you realize you're staring straight into God's own
truth." -Marv Knox, Editor, Baptist Standard
Ministers try so hard to keep everything under control that they
often miss the fun of it. When church leaders feel frustrated,
there's a better option than giving up or giving in. They can open
their eyes to a new perspective and cultivate a life shaped by
Christ's joy. Who Moved My Pulpit? is a humorous look at almost
everything ministerial. Younger invites us to laugh at the
ridiculous and celebrate the holy. This look at everything from
pastor search committees ("Does this swimsuit make my hips look
big?") to church answering machines "The Lord be with you, but I'm
in a meeting") is for everyone who wants to remember the love that
led them to church in the first place.
