Buying Swamp Land For God (First Lesson Texts for Cycle C)

Robert Hines has a gift for bringing scripture down to earth where families bicker, where men and women get stressed out, where children fight over a toy, where reality is stranger than fiction. And into each situation he brings the hard-hitting message of the prophets.

Fascinating narrative stories and illustrations make this book great reading and an excellent resource for stimulating preaching.
