The Moody Pews: A 52 Week Devotional for the Flower ChildBaby Boomer

by Sandra L. Brown

Overview

The Moody Pews is a trippy ride through 52 devotionals that reconnects Baby Boomers/Gen Xers to the gospel through the pop culture of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Learn character development through The Beatles or Rod Stewart, and contemplate theology with Janis Joplin or the song Bye-Bye Miss American Pie. Understand your place in the Body of Christ through M*A*S*H TV reruns or Leave it to Beaver insights. Find definitions for salvation and faith through Dr. Seuss, McDonald’s, or Bob Dylan. Check out your own spiritual mental health with George Carlin and Lost in Space TV show. Celebrate your family with The Pointer Sisters and teach charity and service to others with Green Acres and The Hollies.

This pop culture gospel book is sure to reconnect any boomer to their youth and allow them to see their wild era experiences through the eyes of God, some rock and roll, and grace. Funny, easy to embrace, grace inspiring and yet unusually deep makes The Moody Pews a comfortable approach to Christian growth.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Just as Jesus reached people with plain talk and practical stories, Sandra Brown uses the same approach…with cultural icons, catch phrases and humor, she coaxes them to “lower the shields” and allow the Holy Spirit to “beam down” to fill needy hearts.”

Dr. Kathie Erwin, Author and Christian Clinical Psychotherapist

“Sandra Brown moves us baby boomers from the swinging 60’s to the front porch swing. She takes us back to a familiar time and shows us what we have always needed; a personal relationship with our Savior. It was a wonderful comfortable journey and I loved it!”

Vicky Jones, Ph.D., Professor/Lecturer

“Wow! What a fun, engaging book! Once you start reading this book, you won’t want to put it down…[Sandy] helps us to find deep Christian insight from our rock ‘n roll, Americana, TV generation, real-life experiences…Sandy gets us out of our church pews and takes us on a magic carpet ride to revisit the 60’s and 70’s, but this time connecting lasting, eternal Christian insights from those mutually shared experiences…As a songwriter, my goal is to write lyrics that are simple, yet convey a message that is profound. You will find “The Moody Pews” simply profound!”

Ric Blair, Christian Music Artist

“Sandy has written a witty, sensitive and relevant devotional that will not only be enjoyed by we ‘children of the 60’s and 70’s’, but it will speak to the hearts of all people – believers and seekers. Who would’ve thought that Woody Allen, Dr. Seuss, and Rocky Raccoon would all somehow speak Truth to me? ...”

Randy Evans, Senior Pastor

Saturday Night Fever, Deliverance, and The Velveteen Rabbit. ...Brown shows an unusual ability to blend a sense of humor, popular culture, and a mainstream Christian theology. For most collections."
