Overview

As facets on a gem reveal its hidden beauty, so Dr Ellens' sermons for Ordinary Time(s) disclose the depth and beauty of the scriptures relating to these months of the Christian year between Pentecost and Advent. His long career prepared him well to author this book. With the approach of a scholar, the patience of a teacher, and the understanding of a pastor, he gives the reader new insights into these familiar scriptures. To read one of his sermons on a glorious summer day is to pray in the words of a favorite hymn, 'Be Still, my Soul, The Lord is on Thy Side.' To read one of his sermons on a day of great need, will give the reader reason to be grateful for this book.
