It's easy to jump straight from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and miss the drama that unfolded on the streets of Jerusalem during Holy Week. This series of daily readings is an invitation to slow down and catch a view of Jesus through the eyes of some of the minor characters whose stories are often overlooked. This fresh perspective on the events of Holy Week is also an invitation to ask questions of our own lives as we seek to live as Easter people.
In TEN, I invite you into the story of John, a pastor who spends Monday mornings in a local coffee shop, where he engages the viewpoints of a diverse group of regulars who wonder at the relevance and meaning of the Ten Commandments today.
Sit in on their lively, heart-felt conversations as they tackle each Word over a cup of coffee and wrestle with where each Word intersects with their own life.
Available through my publisher or on Amazon.com, where a Readers Guide is also available to facilitate personal or group study.
"I have read Ten with great interest. Two things in particular struck me. First the way Sean shows how the 'rules' are in the service of a relationship. And second, the way Sean weaves the commandments into real life situations with real people. The latter is a special pastoral gift."
~ Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
Before the Bible was words on a page, it was flesh and blood. In my first book, you can travel between the lines of scripture to listen in on the conversations of people wrestling with the Story of God for the first time. Whether sitting around a fire in Babylon, reclining at table in Asia Minor or huddled together by candlelight in Rome, you’ll encounter a tale that you may find both familiar and surprising. An ideal introduction to the ‘big story’ the Bible is telling, The Story of God, the Story of Us is read by individuals, small groups, Sunday School classes and entire churches. It is assigned in college and seminary classes, and has been translated into Korean and Portuguese.
