Opis

"A few years ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, "Let Our Kids Pray." I had an immediate reaction.... I went to my car and got a pen and paper and wrote on the paper, "Who's stopping them?" and put it under the windshield wiper." (from "Let Our Kids Pray")
Carl B. Rife found sermon themes on bumper stickers. With the help of his congregation, he identified seven familiar themes and crafted sermons from them.
The sermons in this book are sometimes an elaboration, sometimes a correction, sometimes an argument, and sometimes a discussion of the particular sentiment found on the bumper sticker.
This book touches a number of basic Christian themes including:
Creation
Forgiveness
The second coming
God's word
Prayer
Grace
Discipleship
