by Robert Barron (Author)
Proclaiming the Power of Christ: Classic Sermons is a collection of over thirty of Bishop Robert Barron's greatest homilies. Exploring both Old and New Testament texts, Bishop Barron brings his characteristic blend of erudition and relatability to a variety of subjects.
From its humble beginnings in Chicago to its worldwide reach to millions today, Word on Fire emerged out of Bishop Barron's masterful preaching. But that preaching--as these classic sermons demonstrate--emerged out of a mission: to proclaim Christ to the culture and to draw people into his Church.
