If you want to stimulate your creative juices and avoid dull, cliche-filled preaching, then you'll love this collection of 150 imaginative "sermon starters." Each idea consists of a clever title that's sure to catch the interest of the person in the pew along with a purpose statement and a brief discussion of the topic (including appropriate scripture references). There are a variety of suggested approaches with striking imagery, providing you with plenty of seeds for developing interesting, thought-provoking messages. And with a convenient subject index included, Shaking Wolves Out Of Cherry Trees is certain to be a treasured addition to any pastor's library. But this volume isn't just for preachers -- it's also an excellent source of meditations for men's, women's, or youth groups as well as inspiring devotional reading. Here's a sample of some of the inventive entries: - Daring To Be A Lion's Breakfast! - Is There A Lightning Bolt With Your Name On It? - How Many Will Your Garbage Can Feed? - We Have Met The Monster And It Is Us - Will Your Bones Dance Again? - Cain's And Einstein's Theory Of Relativity Terry Cain is a retired United Methodist pastor who served his entire ministry in eastern Nebraska.
