Official synopsis Publisher
The JOY Thieves is a collection of sermons that are also stories. Most come from the last few years here at Dickey Memorial in Baltimore, though a few wormed their way in from a year spent serving a church in Northern Ireland. Some imagine their way into the stories found in scripture, some use stories from my own life or the lives of those I love, and some are fictitious in their entirety. A few are complete narratives; most are only partially so. But they are all, at their core, storytelling sermons.
