wfn.org | ABCUSA: Battling Prostate Cancer, A Sermon Notebook Are New Judson Press Releases

["SCHRAMM, Richard" <Richard.Schramm@abc-usa.org>]

American Baptist News Service (Valley Forge, Pa. 6/15/04)--New releases now
available from Judson Press include a noted pastor's response to the complex
issues engendered by prostate cancer and a practical resource for recording
and reviewing sermon notes and messages.

In Battling Prostate Cancer: Getting from 'Why Me' to 'What Next' ($13), the
Rev. Dr. Marvin A. McMickle shares advice and counseling for dealing with the
disease from the perspective of a clergyman and a survivor.  McMickle, pastor
of Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland, and professor of homiletics at
Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio, provides medical and spiritual
advice while challenging readers to confront the fear and denial that often
accompany a confirming diagnosis.

A Sermon Notebook ($8) provides churchgoers a permanent resource for
combining what they've heard from the pulpit with a visual diary for later
reading and reference.	The book--while offering space for date, speaker,
sermon title and relevant Scripture passages--allows church members to keep
their annotations and reflections in one convenient place.

Additional information on these and other Judson Press materials is available
at www.judsonpress.com or by calling 1-800-4-JUDSON.
