Many clergy receive little training in the arts of preaching and it is assumed that they will learn by gaining experience. The renowned American preacher Herbert O’Driscoll suggests that congregations do not want to be given a map showing them how to get to the coast, they want to be drenched in the spray. Narrative preaching is a means of achieving such immediacy. By dramatic story-telling, it invites listeners into enter the text imaginatively and enables them to experience sermons as transformative events. This book aims to provide not just a theoretical introduction, but a resource that uses sermons in the narrative style to reflect on how to prepare and construct them and how to deliver them effectively in the context of worship.

A Preachers Tales is a book about preachers who are unusual, sometimes eccentric people. Buchanan is one of them. In fact, a little bit of him is to be found in many, if not most of them. Buchanan is tolerant of all of them, and a few of them he even loves, or likes because they are so much like him. The prime redeeming feature in all of them is humor. Some of the things the preachers do and say are downright funny, but mostly the humor is subtle and only crops up after the reader has read and thought and reflected on what happened and what was told. Its not all humorous. Preaching is a serious business. The Preacher deals with a profound issue. He is holding Gods Hand with one hand and a mans hand with the other. What the preacher says and does may determine the course of human events because in some measure it reflects or communicates the mind and the saving grace of God. Behold here the Preacher Man at work and at play.

One of the central tasks of pastoral ministry is preaching the Word of God. Yet those who are called to ministry may feel unprepared, unable, or unwilling to step into this role. Moreover, the discipline of homiletics sometimes gets lost amid the exegetical questions, theological debates, and denominational disputes that overwhelm our attention. In this brief introduction to preaching, Matthew Kim helps to prepare those called to preach the Word. A seasoned preacher himself, Kim provides proven insight and guidance about the importance and history of preaching, the characteristics of faithful preaching, and the personal habits of a faithful preacher. With his help, both those training for ministry and those new to the pastoral task will be encouraged as they undertake their calling.

Although most evangelical traditions bar women from ordained ministry, many women have carved out unofficial positions of power in their husbands' spiritual empires or their own ministries. The biggest stars write bestselling books, grab high ratings on Christian television, and even preach. Bowler offers a sympathetic and revealing portrait of megachurch women celebrities, showing how they must balance the demands of celebrity culture and conservative, male-dominated faiths. And black celebrity preachers' wives carry a special burden of respectability. A compelling account of women's search for spiritual authority in the age of celebrity. -- adapted from jacket

Popular speaker and evangelist, Leo Schreven, spreads it thick with stories like this one from a time he and his flying buddies had to make an unexpected night landing. "All I could see was a lot of darkness. As Keith flew on, our friend Pete - a devout atheist - started to sweat. Above the roar of the motor he yelled, 'do you think we're going to make it?' 'I doubt it, Pete, ' I replied. He mumbled some doubts about his religious choices. As Keith began his descent, we approached what appeared to be a field. It's amazing how many things look the same in the dark when you're flying at 120 m.p.h. A nice selection of insects suddenly splattered on the windshield - a fate we seemed destined to share. Suddenly, the airplane lights picked up a new shape, a shape that grew clearer each moment. 'What in the world ... it looks like ... must be ... a TREE!' Keith performed a hammerhead roll that made my eyes sink down to my navel. behind me, Pete was now on his knees confessing his sins with tears and anguish. Keith's mumbling about going down in a blaze of glory didn't help. On our third attempt, we reached the ground in a flurry of dirt and grass. When the plane finally stopped, Keith was on the floor, Squirrel was navigating, the dog was chewing my gum and Pete announced he had decided to enter the ministry.

Fourteenth-Century England. After suffering the Black Plague, the Great Famine, and ongoing war with France, the common folk of England didnt need a corrupt ecclesiastical system that bled them dry. Into this dark time came Doctor John Wycliffe, the "Morning Star of the Reformation", who raged publicly against the abuses within the Church of his day. Doctor Wycliffe engineered the first English translation of the Bible for all to read, and he inspired his followers, commonly called Lollards, to go into the English villages and towns to preach the gospel according to the Scriptures. The impact these men had upon the ordinary folk was almost as amazing as the adventures they experienced. Men from humble beginnings like William Shephard and Thomas Plowman rose up to shake the Church to its core and change the course of English history. The Poor Preachers is an epic tale of courage, faith, and the right way to swing a scythe!
