Opis

This book is written for preachers who suspect that the way they were taught to preach (and for the most part are still being taught to preach) simply does not work, but are not sure why. Using practical examples from real sermons, the book uncovers many of the faults of traditional preaching styles and inspires a new approach to the sermon that unites preacher, congregation, and scripture under the powerful Word of God's grace.

Shepherd's objective is to help sermons bring the Bible to life in all of its dimensions. To do that the preacher must understand his listeners as well as his message. Those who explore Shepherd's approach will find themselves thinking about sermons and preaching in an entirely new way. He presents his position with a firm grounding in biblical studies, literary criticism, and theology.
