Overview

From this fictional, but very real, setting come seventeen story-sermons designed to inspire, amuse, and enlighten. Besides young Jackson Lewis Hillman, you'll meet such characters as Reverend Hubris, who learns a lesson about compassion, and the crazy old man who preached to shoes; and you will muse on topics from table manners, to the turn of the century, to why Jackson thinks his Momma is God. For pastors who want tips on how to make Allen's charming narrative preaching style their own, a final chapter contains the author's commentary on how the stories relate to the biblical texts on which they are based or the occasion in which they were preached.
