The rituals of migrating geese are predictable and reliable. Geese travel together in organized formations, and when they nest, they do so in robustly supportive community with one another. It is the preacher's job to guide the church through the theological calendar, migrating through the high holy days and settling to rest in Ordinary Time. Wild Geese leans on the example of migratory fowl to underscore the way that preaching through the church calendar should be at once theological, creative, and instructive for the local church. A thought-provoking philosophy of preaching precedes several sermons delivered by the authors to inspire those who have made proclamation their life's vocation. The patterns of Wild Geese can help preachers think more intentionally about the way they ponder, craft, and deliver a holy message from God that the Holy Spirit can use to stir the hearts of God's people.
