Stories to help the preacher touch the hearts of adults... children... to evoke laughter and tears with an ironic twist or a surprise ending...

John Sumwalt's stories are a treat -- the gospel comes alive in common life and in regular people, and suddenly we are enchanted by grace.
Donald F. Chatfield
Professor of Preaching
Garret-Evangelical Theological Seminary John Sumwalt's stories bring the gospel to life in the fullest sense of that phrase... I have grown to appreciate the way John's stories direct my eyes and open my ears to God's presence in the everyday occasions of life.
Michael E. Williams
