Overview

This is a book for the journey--that ultimate human quest for a faith that is real, that makes sense in the lives we live today. It doesn't offer glib answers or easy solutions. It refuses to stop at religious slogans on the one hand or theological gibberish on the other. Instead, in twelve sermons offered as a series on Theology in a Practical Key at the great Country Club Christian Church in Kansas City, Missouri, it seeks to bring classical Christian teachings to those places where the water hits the wheel, the rubber hits the road, and doctrines of the church collide with life as we live it day by day. Because Bible truth is story truth, the sermons often tell stories, from both real life and legend. Because the Christian life as God intended it is a life of joy, the sermons are seriously playful, laced with wit and humor. Because the goal is to make things make sense, the writing is down to earth, readable, often homey. The Reader may not only En-Joy this work but also find his or her own New Truth in an Old, Old Story.

Author Information

Gordon Kingsley, the author and preacher of these sermons, is hard to put into an ecclesiastical box. A Baptist from his youth, an ordained Baptist minister and son of a Baptist minister, graduate of a Baptist college and seminary, a pastor of three rural Baptist churches, a president of a Baptist college, he nevertheless on leaving that college resolved to exercise that cardinal Baptist tenet, freedom of conscience, and was confirmed in an Episcopal cathedral. While principal of a Methodist-related college in England, he was part of an ancient Anglican village church, founded in 1174. These sermons were offered when he was interim senior minister of a noted Disciples of Christ congregation. Throughout his career, he has been in much demand as a preacher and speaker, both in America and in Britain. His broad religious sympathies are here self-evident, but he has always stayed focused on what he calls our steady and purposeful walk with God in a world that is anything but steady and purposeful. And on God's astounding love for his children, whoever and whatever we may be.
