Are you a preacher wondering what on earth you can possibly say new and interesting on Ascension this year-to say nothing of all the Ascensions that lie ahead of you? Are you a churchgoer curious about this little odd holiday stranded on a Thursday between Easter and Pentecost? Are you of a scientific mindframe, perpetually stressed out by the thought of Jesus rocketing up to the outer stratosphere like an out-of-control hot air balloon? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then Forty Facets of the Ascension needs to be at the top of your reading list!
