he road Christ calls us to travel takes us on a journey of learning, in both exciting and mundane times. Through sermons based on his own life's journey, Michael D. Wuchter illustrates how we can draw closer to the heart of God in stimulating times like overseas missions and also in such simple things as gardening, cleaning out a wallet, camping, or going to an amusement park. For those seeking to deepen their understanding of God, Walking with Christ reflects on one man's journey of faith, and encourages us to embark on our own. In this fourth book of sermons, Michael Wuchter gives us even more creative images to convey and carry the words of the gospel. On Earth Day, he imagines a creation bogged down by government regulations; he balances the dangers of prayer with the risks of a roller coaster ride; and he comes to terms with the true meaning of sin and grace while camping next to some unruly families from Brooklyn. These twelve sermons are chock full of illustrations that bring God's word alive. You can almost smell the bread as he describes a bakery in Manhattan, and you can feel both the raw tension and emerging unity in the diverse communities of the Namibian church. Wuchter gives us himself and his insights in these carefully crafted sermons. They are both a joy and a challenge to read. Rev. John D. Morris Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Dublin, Ohio Michael Wuchter reflects his creative writing and preaching skills by focusing on the familiar and contemporary experiences of his readers and integrating them into God's story as revealed in Jesus Christ.
