Praise for Sacred Days
Tom Steagald knows how to write, which is to say he knows how to use his own true voice instead of one he has borrowed for the occasion. He also knows how to read, finding in the Gospels not just the same old stories we have heard all our lives but glimpses of the astonishing treasure to be found in those stories if we have our hearts open as well as our eyes."
—Frederick Buechner, author
"Christ takes time and thereby redeems time. This is the testimony of the church. Steagald creatively and faithfully demonstrates how the sanctification of all life and time in the light of Christ has implications for our lives as disciples."
—William H. Willimon
Retired United Methodist bishop and
Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of certain seasons or days of the Christian year?
Steagald uses the Christian year as a map to help us understand the overarching story of Jesus' life. As you follow the events—from Jesus' birth, to his ministry and miracles, and finally his death and resurrection—you will come to understand the importance of the entire story.
Length of study: 6 weeks. Includes Leader's Guide.

“Tom Steagald knows how to write, which is to say he knows how to use his own true voice instead of one he has borrowed for the occasion. He also knows how to read, finding in the Gospels not just the same old stories we have heard all our lives but glimpses of the astonishing treasure to be found in those stories if we have our hearts open as well as our eyes.”—Frederick Buechner, author
"Steagald sounds the melody of God's story and then dovetails in the counterpoint of personal experience with both lines of notes hung on the staff of the Christian liturgical year. A fascinating approach."
—James C. Howell, pastor and author
“Christ takes time and thereby redeems time. This is the testimony of the church. Steagald creatively and faithfully demonstrates how the sanctification of all life and time in the light of Christ has implications for our lives as disciples.”
—William H. Willimon, United Methodist bishop, retired, and professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School
“Steagald packs this book with valuable resources for those beginning or already embarked on the quest to follow Jesus. He offers a delightful and imaginative retelling of key gospel stories in a setting that serves as an introduction and exploration of the liturgical calendar. The insertion of valuable theological insights and provocative questions makes it a book well worth reading.”
—Robert O. Byrd, ThD, retired professor and H. F. Paschall chair of biblical studies and preaching, Belmont University
“If we are going to follow Jesus, we will pay attention to the paths of righteousness that are set before us. Yet at times we are unclear about the traveling conditions, much less the destination. Steagald has a gift for describing the spiritual journey of discipleship, helping us not only to discern where we are at each step along the way but also to envision the future with hope and confidence.”
—Dr. Ken Carter, United Methodist bishop and author
