Mark G. Boyer--editor, author, priest, and college instructor--has been writing books on biblical spirituality for thirty years. As an editor, he won over twenty journalism awards; as an author, he has penned forty volumes; as a priest, he has served as pastor--even founding a new parish--and as a mission director; as college instructor, he has taught courses in Bible and film at Missouri State University, Springfield, for almost thirty years. This is his third Wipf and Stock title.
"While weekend services and memorials have been part of the
liturgical practices of many churches, the individuals or the
events memorialized are often little known by the general laity.
Boyer's new volume, Weekday Saints, pulls together a wealth of
information taken from modern scholarship, theological reflections,
prayers, and scriptural passages to make these events and persons
come alive again. Anyone interested in church history, or simply
personal reflection, will find this book extremely helpful. It is
structured for use by both interested laity and clergy and should
make a real difference for personal study, preaching, or
meditation."
--Victor H. Matthews, Dean, College of Humanities and Public
Affairs, Missouri State University, Springfield, MO "Under the
guise of an in-depth study of the biblical passages assigned for
daily liturgy, the author demonstrates how we can live in the
school of the holy spirit, allowing God's inspiration to direct,
motivate, and sustain our Christian living. No flights of fancy or
wishful pretense here--just earthy, practical, unpretentious advice
for those who, under the guidance of the Spirit, bear everyday
authentic witness to the joy of the gospel."
--Pauline Nugent, Professor of Classics and Biblical Hebrew,
Missouri State University, Springfield, MO
