In For Every Matter under Heaven: Preaching on Special Occasions, Beverly Zink-Sawyer and Donna Giver-Johnston offer a process for creating biblically grounded, relevant sermons for events that arise from calendars, celebrations, or circumstances by considering the occasion, the gathered listeners, and the ways God is at work in that season.

Beverly Zink-Sawyer is professor emerita of preaching and worship at Union Presbyterian Seminary and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). She is the editor of the Abingdon Women's Preaching Annual Series 3, the author of From Preachers to Suffragists: Woman's Rights and Religious Conviction in the Lives of Three Nineteenth-Century American Clergywomen, and one of the authors of the 2008 New Proclamation commentary.
