Sage Hayes affectionately known as Sister Hey loved her job at Newfound Baptist Church in Sandersville. Newfound Missionary Baptist was the largest church in the area and was well known throughout the community for having good preaching, good singing, and delicious, southern style food. It seems as though everyone in the community knew each other or a family member. Sage was the kind of woman that loved attention and sought it in different ways. She worked with some of the most creative and innovative people at Newfound. Sage loved being a support system for the staff at Newfound, especially Daniel Morgan. Daniel was the creative mind behind the Yahweh Food Bank which fed more than 200 families every month with nutritious meals as well as The Lion's Den which provided health and dental screening to poverty stricken families. Tall, muscular, and handsome Daniel was a true Christian man who sought the Lord in every aspect of his life. Sage loved Daniel and would go to any length to be with him even if it meant going against her Christian principles. She desperately wanted to be Mrs. Daniel Morgan. Armed with help from her sister, Delphina, Sage came up with a plan to hook Daniel. However, Daniel was not going to play by Sage's rules. He was facing his own challenges and was not going to let Sage get the upper hand. So, when Sage's initial plan failed, she decided to concoct a more devious plan. Sage allowed her Christian values to be compromised by participating in a momentary indiscretion. Will she be able to find forgiveness, restoration and rejuvenation?

Drawing from the experiences of ministers in smaller churches from coast to coast, leaders and members alike will find motivation and resources for vision casting and strategic planning in the ministry setting of the smaller church and community.This book addresses topics including outreach, evangelism, missions, youth ministry, children’s ministry, working with volunteers, and planning for growth.

The Christian faith is something people practice. The Church prays, listens to the Scriptures, celebrates the sacraments, cares for the suffering, and liberates the oppressed. This is where the task of theology begins. In "Love Makes No Sense", each chapter engages central issues of theology but remains focused on the Christian life. Although it is a book about doctrine—Christian teaching—it insists that one cannot present a doctrine of the Trinity, or Incarnation, or anything else in the abstract. Teaching divorced from everyday life is not Christian teaching. This does not mean this book is primarily 'practical' as opposed to 'theological'. It is an invitation to Christian theology that refuses to separate the two. The aim of this book is not to satisfy the intellect, but to train its readers through approachable theological teaching to live the love that Christian theology proclaims. Suitable for people looking to explore Christian theology more deeply, be they life-long Christians who want a deeper understanding of their faith, new Christians, or those who are interested in the Christian faith and looking to find out more.
