Synopsis

What others find in CAST YOUR NETS It is said that a good sermon is delivered with the Bible in one hand and the daily newspaper in the other. Mark Miller adds a fishing rod to the mix, salting his wise reflections on ministry, faith, and life with insights that can only come while patiently waiting for the elusive yet exciting tug of the Spirit or a sockeye. John Thomas, General Minister and President, United Church of Christ Mark Henry Miller notices little things that the rest of us often miss: the person in the corner who doesn't go along with what others see as a consensus, the surprising kind act by the contentious opponent, the fish swimming upstream. And he thinks about what he has noticed and shares what he has learned. He shows us how to reflect in the midst of practice, which is essential to effective ministry. William McKinney--President, Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, CA Mark writes with wit, humor, and grace. His insights will stay with you long after the reading is done. --Jim Thayer, novelist and professor Short, pithy, inspirational stories for everyday ministry--a good source for daily devotional material, provocative meeting openers or sermon illustrations. Each epistle has an easily grasped point that touches a deep spiritual issue or practice of both ministry and everyday life lived with intentional faithfulness. Paul Forman, United Church of Christ MinisterMark Henry Miller's always insightful, sometimes whimsical pastoral epistles are a delight and a challenge to read - challenging our everyday way of seeing things and letting us glimpse a bit of what might be if we only have eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to love. Joanne Carlson Brown, Methodist Minister

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Mark Henry Miller retired the summer of 2007 after forty-two years of ordained ministry in the United Church of Christ, serving local congregations and conference ministry. His last two positions were Conference Minister in the South Central Conference [Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi] and Pacific Northwest Conference [Washington, northern Idaho and Alaska].He was educated at Stanford University in History and Psychology, at Yale University Divinity School for a Master's in Theology and Eden Theological Seminary for a Doctor of Ministry degree.He and his wife, Diane, live in Lewisville, Texas. In addition to CAST YOUR NETS, Mark has published his first book of pastoral letters, ROAD SIGNS ON THE WAY TO FISHING, has completed two novels, NO ONE IS INNOCENT and PREACHER'S LUCK and is writing a new novel, FATAL SURPRISE.He has had two non-fiction essays published in the national magazine, In-Fisherman.When he isn't filling the crock pot for dinner in Texas and writing a new chapter in his novel, he and his wife, Diane, can most likely be found fly-fishing for trout in Colorado, drifting for steelhead in Oregon and Washington and/or trolling for chinook salmon in Oregon. No mystery where the pastoral letter book titles come from, that's certain.
