Advanced manual for teachers and preachers in formation

"Homiletics for Beginning and Developing Preachers" is not a simple compendium of oratory techniques. It is a complete manual, biblically grounded and deeply pastoral, designed for the preacher who understands that before technique comes character, and before the sermon comes the preacher.

What this book offers that others do not:

• A solid foundation in the "why": It begins where others do not begin: with the preacher's responsibility before God (James 3:1), the necessity of being an example before being an expositor (1 Timothy 4:12), and the obligation to search the Scriptures (1 Peter 1:10-12).

• Learn to master the universal structure of the sermon: Master the fundamental elements: Theme, Title, Sermonic Question, Introduction, Body, Conclusion, and Invitation. Learn to construct a message that flows with clarity and purpose.
• Distinguish and apply the 5 Base Sermon Types: Textual, Thematic, Expository, Biographical, and Narrative. Understand their key differences, their advantages and risks, and when to use each one.
• Strengthen your message with the 5 Homiletical Strategies: Antithetical, Interrogative, Persuasive, Procedural, and Repetitive. Learn to present the same biblical material from powerful angles that engage and transform the listener.
• Practical examples and complete outlines: Each sermon type and strategy is illustrated with a fully developed example, based on the pastoral richness of the epistles to Timothy. You see exactly how a sermon is built from scratch to the final invitation!
• Pastoral sensitivity for unique moments: Learn to preach in the most delicate and crucial moments of ministry: funerals, weddings, child dedications, and quincea
