I endorsed a new book, Hebrews cowritten by Mary Ann Beavis and HyeRan Kim-Cragg. Beavis and Kim-Cragg are both Canadian scholars who have already written many interesting books. Please do check out their other books on amazon.
This particular book is a new innovative commentary series. Check out all the volumes.

I am among 90 scholars, activists and preachers who contributed to this three volume commentary series, Preaching God’s Transforming Justice, edited by Ronald Allen, Dale Andrews & Dawn Ottoni-Wilhelm.
Year B came out last year and Year C will be released September 8, 2012. These volumes are great for preachers who are interested in preaching about social justice. This lectionary can help the preacher identify and reflect theologically and ethically on the social implications of the biblical reading. Amazon Link
