Leininger had planned be a \"pastor out to pasture\" and retire from active ministry at the end of 2008, but God had other plans. Instead of chasing little white balls around a proverbial pasture, he is now the interim pastor of Dorchester Presbyterian Church in Summerville, South Carolina. He has previously served congregations in Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. A graduate of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary (M.Div) and Erskine Theological Seminary (D.Min.), Leininger is the author of six books: A Color-Blind Church; God of Justice: A Look at the Ten Commandments in the 21st Century; As We Believe, So We Behave: Living the Apostles' Creed; and three volumes of Lectionary Tales for the Pulpit. He has also been a contributing writer for the online services StoryShare and The Immediate Word (www.sermonsuite.com).","brand":"CSS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088496496880,"sku":"9780788026225","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780788026225","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
