Warm, thoughtful, and biblically grounded insights into God's call to respond to those who are hungry and poor. Each devotion incorporates the weekly readings and concludes with suggestions for children's sermons and congregational singing. The perfect book for preparing justice-minded sermons or writings.
Sojourners
An excellent tool helping preachers apply the weekly lectionary readings to the tragedy of global hunger. Provocative and useful with a breadth of contributors as diverse as Bread for the World.
Ronald J. Sider, President, Evangelicals for Social Action
Hunger for the Word is a helpful resource for preachers who wish to stress the social implications of the readings and are looking for illustrations, statistics and insights.
Grace & Truth
Each of the entries, which usually address more than one of the assigned readings, has a power of its own, and the accompanying "children's time" and musical suggestions are an extra bonus.
Writing Works
Drawing on the insights and stories of pastors, professors and others active in the anti-hunger movement, the book explores scriptural witness with an openness to seeing how God's word can nourish us in the struggle to feed the people who are hungry.
Crux
I would recommend it for all people wishing to study and to reflect upon scripture from the perspective of justice and food. The analyses are connected with daily living, which is exactly what good preaching is supposed to do.
Celebrate!
