For more than 80 years, The Minister's Manual has been the standard by which all other preaching annuals are measured. This year, a new design, revised content based on extensive market research, and a searchable CD-Rom make this non-denominational resource even more helpful to today's busy pastor.

The 2008 Edition is still the comprehensive and traditional resource pastors have come to rely on, but now has a more readable and attractive design and more practical and easy-to-use features. Turn to The Minister's Manual for:

• Complete sermons for the entire year
• Lectionary messages and worship aids to expand Sunday services
• Feature articles that speak to the hearts and minds of ministers
• A treasury of practical, contemporary and relevant sermon illustrations
• A diverse group of contributors, a broad and contemporary range of illustrations, and new and expanded preaching resources
• Lectionary-based children's sermons for engaging young minds
• Lectionary-based music selections
• Calendars of important historical, cultural, and religious anniversaries and dates
• Eloquent and useful messages for holidays, funerals and bereavement, communions, and missions
