Preach Another Story

About the Book

Preach Another Story is a collection of sermons in story form based on the Old Testament. It is a sequel to Huegel’s first book, Preach a Story, which was based on the New Testament. The stories are set in the narrative of the history of Israel from the time of Abraham to the return from the exile. The author impersonates the characters and, through their eyes, tries to recreate the situation in which each one lived and the challenge each faced. Though he adds details to embellish each story, he remains faithful to the biblical text. Huegel believes that the stories themselves provide encouragement and hope for the story of our own journey through life.
