Amazon blurb:

Pastors often hope people will remember their sermons and make use of them thoughout the week and not just hear them on Sunday morning and then forget about them the rest of the week until next Sunday. Unfortunately for most of us, our sermons are not that memorable. We also hope perhaps you my meditate on the lessons from Sunday's readings throughout the week. If we are terribly unrealistic, we hope you will read the lessons ahead of time to prepare yourself to hear the sermon and therefore Christ's word to you to the fullest amount.

This book is written in part to help you either to prepare you for Sunday morning to hear the sermon or to meditate on the sermon and the other texts throughout the week. This particular volume covers Advent through Easter. I try to have six devotions thoughout the week, two on each reading, with the assumption you will hear a sermon based on one of the texts on Sunday. Some texts don't lend themselves to more than one point but other lessons may have three or four. Occasionally, there will be a devotion on the Introit, the Psalm, the Gradual or the Verse if I couldn't write enough devotions based on the lessons.

You can then either read these devotions the week before the lessons appear on Sunday to prepare for sermon or read them afterwards to meditate on what you heard Sunday. It's up to you.I pray these devotions may open your ears, heart and mind to the Word of God given on Sunday so you may better understand, believe and then live it out in your daily life.
