Tired of Easy Answers? So Was Jesus.

Amid soundbites and religious platitudes, Stan Purdum invites you into a quieter, more honest conversation.

From Out of Our Christian Treasure doesn't offer sermons that push or persuade. Instead, it lingers with the Gospel texts for Cycle A, listening for how the wisdom of Jesus meets the questions and tensions of our lives.

This is a book for pastors searching for fresh language, for laypeople longing to go deeper, and for seekers wondering if faith can hold their doubts as well as their hopes.

Inside you'll find:

• A Faith for the Fray - Rethink how to live with others without resorting to caricatures.
• Permission to Be Human - See discipleship as a shared journey of worship and wavering.
• Practical Compassion - Notice how Jesus "feels it in the gut" and how faith takes shape in action.
• Your Key to the Kingdom - Reflect on what it means to bring forth treasures "new and old."

A thoughtful companion for anyone longing for a faith spacious enough for today's challenges.
