Worship and Preaching

 




 

 

 

 

 

   
   
This publication takes the church's most ancient signs and symbols for expressing God's presence--the sacraments-- out to the cutting edge of contemporary evangelism.  Profound and practical, it blends a deeply traditional approach with creativity and imagination to show how multi-sensory worship can be one of the most effective tools in mission today.

The accompanying CD Rom includes all the liturgies featured in this book and a range of DVD presentations that are ready to use and will inspire your own ideas

   
   
   

 

 

 

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.'

 

 

 

PREACHING WITH HUMANITY: A practical guide for today's church by Geoffrey Stevenson and Stephen Wright (Church House Publishing 2008) £14.99
'We believe in preaching..... We believe that the church needs preachers who believe in preaching the word of God.... Only we want to be real about an enterprise that is undertaken by humans for fellow humans, with the potential for all the glory and misuse, seriousness and silliness that goes with being human.'

Full of tips, advice and realism, this book poses thought-provoking questions to help you reflect on and develop your preaching.
This book will help you in the livelong process of becoming a preacher with humanity.

 

 

 

 

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)
