" When you know who you are your "in look" shapes your "outlook", and your "outlook" shapes your "outcome." Beginning with the significance of the Christian life these sermons offer fresh approaches to preaching for celebrations of the Christian year; from growing in the Christian faith; seeking God's spirit for renewal, and reliving the importance of Holy Communion, the celebration of Christmas and Easter.
