America's Spiritual Life to be Captured in 'One Certain Sunday'

Contact: Scott H. Lewis, +38-050-180-7815, Scott@100Sermons.org

KYIV, Ukraine, Dec. 19, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- Author Scott H. Lewis (photo) is calling on pastors from across the United States to contribute the texts of sermons delivered on December 4 for inclusion in an upcoming book, "One Certain Sunday: A Snapshot in Time from America's Pulpits."

Lewis wants to capture a moment in the country’s spiritual life with the anthology of sermons, delivered in mega-churches and small-town chapels, across denominations and across the country on the same day: December 4, 2011.

"Every week, pastors work hard to write thought-provoking, insightful and moving sermons," Lewis says. "Few gain wider exposure beyond their immediate congregation. We'd like to shine a light on them, and we're praying that the country's pastors will be willing to share their work."

Most ministers are humble people who believe that their sermons are good, but not worth publishing, Lewis says. "That's what makes this project so exciting. We really want to hear the messages that these salt-of-the-Earth preachers deliver. They represent the fabric of Christianity as well as their better-known colleagues."

He said that Sunday, December 4 was chosen because that date doesn't coincide with any particular Christian holiday or national special event. They didn't want Easter sermons or Lent sermons -- they wanted to hear what was being preached on a 'normal' Sunday.
Pastors whose sermons are included in the book will receive credit for their work and will be asked to provide brief information about their church and background. "Participation in the book project will bring your ministry to readers across the nation -- and beyond," Lewis said. December 4 sermons should be sent to: book@100Sermons.org.  

"One Certain Sunday" is part of the 100 Sermons project and will be published by Ralph, Harland & Co., a small-press publisher. Lewis is an American public relations executive who has lived and worked in Kyiv, Ukraine since 2000. He is the author of three books, including "The Kindness Cure: 52 Weeks to a More Fulfilling Life."
