I am truly grateful for Preaching the Word and for the inspiration, even when I'm led to another message all together. Thanks."

"I'm an Episcopal rector of a parish where there is no other priest on the staff. So I feel a great need to read good sermons, since the only person I hear preach week in and week out is myself! I find that I am encouraged, opened up and inspired by good sermons, and many of the writings in Preaching the Word are sermons to me. They help me connect the lessons with social justice when I need a new window opened for me."
