Thats the inspiring message readers will find in The Word Made Fresh. In recommending the Rev. Dr. George A. Masons new book to readers  the best-selling Christian author and theologian Brian McLaren says  \"In the struggle for the future of Christianity in America  George Mason embodies great courage and graciousness as he continues to preach that we must welcome the most vulnerable among us.\" For three decades  Masons weekly messages have inspired those who attend Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas  Texas  as well as Georges followers nationwide. Now  this unique multimedia book collects 80 of Georges most memorable and thought-provoking sermons along with links to videos of many of them. This collection covers timely themes ranging from the welcoming love of God and the basics of the Christian faith to such vital issues as the stewardship of our planet  the importance of interfaith relationships  the need to include the most vulnerable in our community life  and the importance of peacemaking. Greg Garrett  another best-selling Christian author  writes in his preface  \"George Mason is one of the Christian worlds most accomplished preachers and pastors. A writer  teacher  activist  and media figure  during thirty-plus years as senior pastor at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas  Texas  he modeled a Christian love of and advocacy for the marginalized  the disdained  the set aside  that feels absolutely like the Jesus I know  love  and serve.\" In these pages \"youll see a master at work  a preacher weaving together some teaching  some storytelling  some pushing the limits to make us think \" writes Amy Butler  founder of Invested Faith and author of Beautiful and Terrible Things. Half of the sermons in this collection include QR codes so readers can opt to view and listen to videos of Masons original delivery of these messages. Readers and viewers will be glad they encountered Masons mastery  writes Allen Walworth  Teaching Pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Bonita Springs  Florida. \"George carefully selects words like jewels  and then polishes and sets them in sentences designed to reflect light into the secret places of the heart. Sometimes his words of invitation to faith are a warm embrace  and at other times they are a poke in the ribs.\" \"Week after week  year after year  Georges sermons proclaim our sacred interdependence \" writes Nancy Kasten  Reform rabbi and Jewish Mindfulness Meditation teacher. In his introduction  George asks readers the simple question that he asks himself as he approaches preaching: \"Can you find the good news in each sermon?\" His goal is to engage all of us in spreading hope throughout our communities.
