註釋

Gordon Jones claims he's not qualified to be a minister of God either by training or by personality or by inherent virtue, so he tends to remain silent when he hears messages in church that neglect to represent his views or those of his elderly companions in the pews. But he believes that lay people should be encouraged to write occasional sermons nevertheless, if only to help expand their pastors' horizons. His own pastor has referred to his ruminations as the rebuttal to his wermons, but Jones prefers to think of them as the exegesis of some of his random thoughts on the meaning of life, written as the sermons of a layman. "If my pastor chooses," he says, "I hope he will feel free to rebut my rebuttals, and at a minimum I hope he may find some material to provoke some sermons of his own. I seldom have any serious objections to what he says, but it's probably never a good idea to have all the sermons come from one person, unless that person is Christ himself." It is with this in mind that the author has written 30 lay renditions of sermons that he never preached during any month of Sundays.
