Parson’s Porch Books is delighted to present to you this series called Sermons Matter.

We believe that many of the best writers are pastors who take the role of preacher seriously. Week in, and week out, they exegete scripture, research material, write and deliver sermons in the context of the life of their particular congregation in their given community.

We further believe that sermons are extensions of Holy Scripture which need to be published beyond the manuscripts which are written for delivery each Sunday. Books serve as a vehicle for the sermon to continue to proclaim the Good News of the Morning to a broader audience.

Rev. Dr. Patricia Ramsden give us excellent examples of voices of Biblical women through first-person sermons.

We celebrate the wonderful occasion of the preaching event in Christian worship when the Pastor speaks, the People listen and the Work of the Church proceeds.

Take, Read, and Heed.

Rev. Dr. Patricia Ramsden is honorably retired from the PCUSA and is currently serving as a transitional and supply preacher for the Presbytery of East Tennessee. She now lives in Knoxville, TN. She received her doctorate from Vanderbilt University and her MDiv from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
