Harold Barnes, the recently retired Head and Master Teacher of Westview Academy, dies of a heart attack in a southern California gym. Or did he? Was he somehow alive again in the body of a much younger man? There is his obituary in the Los Angeles Times along with stories of the O.J. Simpson murders. What now will happen to his relationships with family and friends? And what of the young man whose identity and family and friends he must now discover? What happens to him? Could he, for his own reasons, be trying to make a new story of his life? How will he or the two of them make a living? Whose mysterious and at times comical, at times harrowing story is this?

The third edition is updated to the Revised Common Lectionary.Many of us have difficulty hearing the Bible as it is read to us in church Sunday after Sunday through the year. Even with the best intentions we come to the Word of God ¿cold¿ because we have not been given the skills and the preparation to hear and understand the content of Scripture.These brief and insightful introductions to all the readings of the church¿s three-year lectionary cycle are designed to sharpen our listening and increase comprehension of Scripture by summarizing each passage, setting it in a liturgical and historical context, connecting it to the season, and drawing out its relevance to our lives and faith, week by week.This is an ideal tool for Christian formation as well as homiletical preparation. The style is clear, straightforward, well grounded in biblical scholarship, and Anglican in its theological approach. Extra features include an essay on the Bible and Christian formation, five brief use guides, an index to the biblical readings, and a summary of the seven most common Bible translations used in church services.
