WELCOME to my Web Page! Photo.JPG - 2593 Bytes

I am REV. LUTHER C. PIERCE, a retired United Church of Christ pastor living in the beautiful Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts. I served churches in Connecticut, Florida and Massachusetts, and was Executive Secretary of the Greater Miami (FL) Council of Churches back in the 60's. These days, I tend my hobby Birch Hill Farm with its bantams, ornamental pheasants, garden and woodworking shop. I do supply preaching when called upon, and have time to do some writing. I've done some self-publishing, and so created Birch Hill Press. I offer my work through this Web Page to Christian readers and others interested in my Christian thought. This is what I have available.

Vision cover.JPG - 5317 Bytes BE THOU MY VISION is a collection of inspirational stories, poems and a few sermons. The stories are imaginative settings of familiar Bible stories. Many originate in the Christmas season. The book is easy reading, sure to bring both fresh appreciation of biblical characters and renewed joy in one's Christian faith. 223 pages. $17.95 + $2 S&H
Here is one of the poems from Be Thou My Vision. I'll let it speak for itself. (click to view)

wreath.JPG - 6569 Bytes CHRISTMAS GIVING is a booklet of personal or family devotional readings for the Advent season. It contains brief Advent Candle Lighting liturgies for family use. Its four weekly themes are God Gives, We Give, Christ Gives, The Spirit Gives. $2.50 + $1 S&H

THE SERVANT BOOK is my latest work. It is an exploration of biblical servanthood as expressed through stewardship. It is much more about lifestyle than it is about money. My test readers tell me it will make an excellent adult study group book. One called it provocative! You will find it helpful in evaluating your own lifestyle. 132 pages. $10.95 + $2 S&H
To let you see a touch of what this book is all about, I'm including the first two pages of chapter 7, which is entitled "The Servant in the World." (click to view)

MARY HAD A BABY is a dramatization of a story in Be Thou My Vision. It is written for presentation at Christmas time, as a church pageant. Its different twist is that Jesus' grandparents help tell the story. The cast requires adults or older youth. A perusal copy is $2.00 + $.75 S&H. The use fee is $35.00.
