Interpreting the World to the Church Volume 2 by Rev Joanna J Seibert Md
Volume 2 has over 30 sermons preached at funerals, weddings, ordinations, after disasters, on saint's days and for children by an Episcopal deacon who has been physician for 48 years. The Rev. Seibert responds to her call as a deacon to interpret to the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world as a narrative preacher. She is a storyteller sharing stories showing the relevance of the gospel on these special occasions to the world where we live and work. Volume 1 has 40 sermons based on the three-year Revised Common Sunday Lectionary in the Episcopal Church, Catholic and most Protestant Churches, usually interpreting the gospel. Dr. Seibert takes seriously Frederick Buechner's advice to homilists and writers that the greatest importance is how well the preacher's words connect to the words inside the listener and how well the listener experiences the gospel during their brief time together. (It) is not the preacher's eloquence but the lump in your throat or the leap of your heart or the thorn in your flesh.
Seibert, Joanna J.: - An established author with over forty years of experience as a physician, minister, mother, retreat leader, and spiritual director, Joanna has collected daily messages from well-known spiritual authors and responds with a short discussion from her own experience as it relates to spiritual direction. A Daily Spiritual Rx should trigger a connection to God for the reader from her own experience to sustain her for the day. Joanna addresses the most common subjects and questions brought up by people on spiritual journeys or in spiritual direction as she shares books, readings, and experiences that have most connected her to God on her journey from both contemporary and classical writers.
