A PREACHING WORKBOOK by David Day (SPCK2004 reprint)
£9.99
This is a book for all preachers, be they ordained (of any
denomination)readers, students preparing for a preaching
ministry, or lay people called onto deliver a sermon from time
to time.
In his introduction, David Day describes the ambivalence in
churches about preaching. He goes on to help preachers
construct and deliver addresses that draw the practice closer to
the high theology we hold of the sermon as the 'word of God'.
He gives plenty of practical help on the craft of preaching. And
in doing so, he is courageous enough to expose some of his own
sermons as examples of good or (occasionally) bad practice, as
well as sermons from fifty or so preachers who are equally brave
in offering their own efforts.

PREACHING by Fred B Craddock (Abingdon Press 1985)
£13.99 approx
'Fred Craddock's Preaching is a book filled with
practical wisdom. It is free of the older homiletical
prescriptions that too often confined the preacher's creativity.
In place of rules, Craddock invites his readers to participate
with him in the whole cycle of the preparation and delivery of
sermons, and to do so in such a way that readers supplement the
author's ideas with their own experiences and insights.
Best of all, the book is free from jargon and the technical
language of homiletics and theology. Preaching is a
liberating book, one that preachers and teachers of preaching
have been waiting for.' |

human.'Full of tips, advice and realism, this book poses

your preaching.
This book will help you in the livelong process of becoming a

WHAT DO THEY HEAR? Bridging the gap between pulpit and
pew by Mark Allan Powell (Abingdon Press 2007) £6.99 approx
'Powell offers practical insights for helping preachers
communicate across the gap of clergy-lay interpretation.
The author - one of the most prolific and readable biblical
scholars today- sets the stage for the clergy-lay comparison
with an exceptional exposition of how social location influences
what we hear and do not hear in scripture passages and with what
to make theologically and exegetically of the fact that
different people sometimes interpret the same passage in quite
different ways. I recommend this book not only for
all preachers but for all biblical interpreters.' (Ronald J
Allen) |

MAKING THE WORDS ACCEPTABLE:The Shape of the Sermon in
Christian History by Jonathan Hustler (Epworth Press 2009)
£19.99
''If you thought dead preachers were mercifully silent, read
this book and you'll find the great ones speak to us still; and
thank God they do! Jonathan Hustler leads us entertainingly
through the years, and every time we stop to listen to a voice
vividly recovered from the past he serves up something to bring
home to nourish our own preaching. Form matters. Great
preachers have always taken care over the form as well as the
content of their sermons. This book encourages today's
preachers to do the same.' (Paul Johns, Director of the
College of Preachers) |
