PREACHING
Housing the Sacred,
by Glen Wiberg
Item# 0910452954
$9.95
Product Description
By Glen Wiberg
Housing the Sacred reflects veteran Covenant pastor Glen Wiberg’s high understanding of the sermon and liturgy – the space created by language for the sacred, where people are transformed as they encounter God.
Challenging pastors to approach the task of preaching with respect and humility, Wiberg offers insights into the creative and intellectual process of developing a sermon, including the various steps along with a sample of his own work.
Wiberg shares with the wider church what his congregants have long known: that “in the preaching act there should be something hidden in the moment ‘to break the sky asunder, to ascend on high in song.’ ”

My Father's Testament, by David Nyvall, translated by Eric G. Hawkinson
Item# 0006455204
Regular price: $5.95
Our price: $1.95
Product Description
“No single document is more essential to a living, historical understanding of the genesis and growth of the Covenant Church, both in Sweden and in America, than My Father’s Testament. Published privately in America by David Nyvall, and subsequently in Sweden as well, the book was a careful – and at the same time, highly personal – examination of the people and the events whose coming together created the most important Swedish church reform since the Reformation, and, carried by waves of immigration, a new American church. Karl Johan Nyvall, whose Testament this was, stood at the very center of the development in Sweden, spanning in his own lifetime the first cells and the national organization. He was unquestionably influential among the Swedes in America as well. His son David, who here interprets Karl Johan’s Testament to us, was the dominating figure in Covenant education in America, the Covenant’s leading intellectual, and one of the early band of leaders who have come to be identified as authentic Covenant fathers. Father and son, their careers bridge a century, from the Rosenian world of the 1850s to the Second World War.” Zenos E. Hawkinson

It is not only people who ask questions of God. God asks questions of people. "Where are you?" "Where is Abel your brother?" "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" "Do you do well to be angry?" "What do you want me to do for you?"
