The fascination of story telling is felt in these eleven sermons for the Pentecost season. Vibrantly illustrated, they powerfully communicate the good news of God's love. Wolkenhauer writes, "The use of story in preaching can be a memorable way to proclaim the Gospel. In these sermons I have sought a variety of examples for the use of story in sermons."

Included here are sermons for the final third of the Season after Pentecost, Christ the King Sunday, All Saints' Sunday, Thanksgiving, and Reformation Sunday. Phyllis Faaborg Wolkenhauer holds degrees from San Jose State University and Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota. She has served parishes in North Dakota and Iowa. Her sermons have been published in Augsburg Sermons 3.
