Why I wrote Barefoot Before God.

Why I Wrote Barefoot Before God.

While we were in South Africa as missionaries, I was writing Bible Study courses constantly for the college and I got to feeling that the creative writing side of me was being neglected. So I started to casting about for a way to incorporate this into my preaching.

One day I sat down and began to write a story about Moses. It flowed nicely and at the end I put three points of a sermon. It was fun. So I decided to do a few other in this same way. I wrote one on, I feel sorry for Judas, Jethro's Advice, Bring the Winter Coat I left at Troas.

I got stalled for a bit, but then I got other ideas for it. Mainly what I tried to do was take a familiar passage and talk about it from a different angle. Instead of from David's view, I told it from Goliath's. When Paul met the girl with a spirit of divination and cast it out, I told it from her perspective.

So there are 10 creative writing sermons. I was pleased with them and hope that you will buy the book and enjoy a fresh look at some familiar Scriptures.

This is the first time these sermons have been published.
