When the Aardvark Parked on the Ark and Other Poems

Harrison, Marc

Calvin Miller's revelatory tale is actually a story within a story linked by the desire to find personal meaning in each of these Seven Truths. Told from the perspective of Anton, a ten-year-old farm boy who has moved with his parents from Louisiana to Chicago, the main narrative begins when Anton's unemployed father moves on to Duluth seeking work. With money for only one month's rent on their apartment, Anton and his mother, Christiana, are eventually evicted and forced to take to the streets with their belongings. Nearly starved and frozen, they are rescued by a kind man named Hajji, who offers to shelter them under his protective tarp and give them food. On the way to their new shelter, however, Anton is hit by a truck and his legs are left paralyzed. Feeling at once cursed by this handicap yet grateful for Hajji's care, Anton questions God's love and compassion. A devout Christian, Hajji reassures Anton by relating his own story of finding God's love. Hajji begins telling his story at twilight, after they settle in. And his story continues in the form of a little red book that he leaves with Anton and his mother when he disappears the next morning - taking Christiana's diamond wedding ring with him. Gravely disappointed, confused, and feeling betrayed, Anton and his mother are nonetheless thankful for the cart and rations that Hajji has left behind. The two survive for the next few days on food that keeps mysteriously appearing in the cart, and pass the time by reading the intriguing little red book.

War of the Moonrhymes (Singreale)

Some people dismiss the devil as a schoolboy's myth, not to be taken seriously. Others indulge in aggressive 'spiritual warfare' at the least sign of sin, temptation, or doubt. Offering a more balanced approach, Disarming the Darkness brings a sound scriptural basis to understanding the dynamics of spiritual warfare. Respected author and teacher Calvin Miller recounts his own experiences with spiritual warfare and shows how we can overcome the influence of evil in our personal circumstances. He keeps us from two extremes: either burying our heads in the sand to the activity of demonic forces or becoming overly preoccupied with them. Miller shows who the devil s and what he is doing -- and outlines Christ's victory over Satan and his angels. The author confronts the deepest and most subtle sources of temptation: money, sex, and power. He also demonstrates ways our own pride can be a stumbling block. He shows how a subtle lust for personal power can blind us even as we 'combat' with formulas that smack more of magic and incantation than scriptural faith. And Miller offers guidelines for discerning the true source of the evil we encounter in ourselves and in others.

Three contemporary, humorous parables of a preacher who struggles with his need to changeSam the preacher wonders what has gone wrong with his sermons. Are people still listening? Well-known storyteller and communications professor Calvin Miller combines his fiction writing with his insight into preaching to address the changes faced by today’s preachers, especially the fact that contemporary congregations have shifted to a different way of listening. How can Sam recover his passion for preaching?In this short, entertaining, story-driven book, church leaders will see honest reflections of themselves. But the narrative humor also provides a clever way to stimulate thought and discussion on how preachers and preaching are changing. Some places in the story will lead to laughter, others will cause readers to pause and reflect. But whatever the reaction, The Sermon Maker leaves the reader encouraged and changed.Extensive commentary on the stories provides insight from the author into the best ways to communicate. Just as the story in the tremendously popular Who Moved My Cheese? impacted readers in the business world who were facing change, so this book is designed as a quick but stimulating story for any church leader who preaches or is concerned about the state of preaching today.
