If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach

By Charles Stelzle

"If I Had Only One Sermon to Preach" is a profound compilation that captures the essential core of Christian thought and practice. Edited by Charles Stelzle, this collection challenges diverse religious leaders to distill their entire theology and life's work into a single, definitive message. The result is an extraordinary anthology that explores the most vital themes of the faith-ranging from the transformative power of grace to the ethical demands of the social gospel.
