For many people the experience of listening to sermons is a mixed one. We are often quite interested in what the preacher has to say, but our minds are inclined to wander. There are our own thoughts to contend with.

It is helpful, then, to see sermons in written form, particularly when the sermons are, like those in this book, such fine examples of the preacher's art. In these pages there is a great deal to think about, a great deal to that will move and inspire the reader. These are, quite simply, challenging and enlightening thoughts.

I am honored to be able to publish this book. Trevor Mwamba is not only somebody whom I am proud to call my friend, he is a great man, whose Christian example should be able to help many people of faith and of no faith. Our world is not always a pleasant place and there are may in it who are unhappy. But this unhappiness can always be attenuated by listening to a well expressed message of love and understanding. That is what this book is about. Alexander McCall Smith

By the end of many of Bishop Mwamba's sermons, the tears were dancing down my cheeks. Trevor Mwamba is a man of tremendously varied talents. He studied for the priesthood in St. Stephen's House, Oxford, but is a lawyer and banker too and during his years as Provincial Secretary of the Central African Anglican Church, he carried out significant mediations. He writes with beautiful present-day images and warmth. We feel embraced with the love of God and he seems to be addressing us personally.He clarifies Biblical passages so tenderly! He brings them into present day language, elaborates them through this society's issues.

Profiting from foreign culture Point where bold becomes stupid Iraq's suffering captured on Canvas Tears were dancing down my cheeks.

Zambian born Anglican Church Bishop Trevor Mwamba launched his book, Dancing Sermons last week. It is a religious book, which might induce a fundamental change in the reader's perception of things. Like the author who puts on many hats, of lawyer, banker, writer and priest, the book sets out to inspire, motivate and instill a set of important values in one. Dancing Sermons will make you look upon familiar things as though seeing, feeling and understanding it for the first time.

For many people the experience of listening to sermons is a mixed one. We are often quite interested in what the preacher has to say, but our minds are inclined to wander. It is helpful to see sermons in written form especially as well and easily written as these ones. Dancing Sermons is joyous. It takes the reader from one beat to the other, dancing non-stop. In a nutshell it is an easy, accommodating read, which does not require one to be a staunch Christian or belong to any particular religion to be hooked on it.

Dancing Sermons illuminates Mwamba as a keen observer of human strength and frailties and an asstute reader of human relations. His Sermons show him to be a man who lives his ward of well - placed council and polite admonishment.
