To Be a Disciple is a fitting conclusion to Bruce Taylor's two published journeys through the Common Lectionary (Revised). Wise preaching encourages and promotes faithful discipleship. That is particularly true of this set of sermons for Sundays and feast days based on the readings for the second half of the lectionary cycle that features the Gospel of Luke. This collection highlights the unique emphases of Luke while interweaving the stories and theological witness of the lectionary's companion Old Testament and epistle readings. Clergy and laity alike will find this exploration of the intersection between ancient texts and contemporary challenges to be at once rich in theological insight, sacramentally oriented, and ecumenically sensitive, celebrating always Christ's winsome invitation and bold summons to Christian servanthood and the fitting, powerful, and dependable resources of the Holy Spirit. Jesus' call for the church's unity and God's pursuit of community are central convictions in Taylor's preaching and shape his understanding of the preacher's task and the disciple's mission. Like his other volumes, this collection includes representative story sermons based on the lectionary. It will be a valuable addition to libraries of ministers, seminarians, and all who aspire to faithful discipleship.

""In this volume, Bruce Taylor invites the reader into an expansive imaginative plane. Here, generative vistas are explored with an essential subject in mind: the God whose anguish is borne of love."" --Broderick Greer, canon precentor, Saint John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado
