This book is a compilation of my writings on preaching. It is intended to offer the reader a journey through the rudiments of preaching as a discipline, to the deeper calling of mystagogue. It is my belief that preaching is an underutilised gift, that within the Church it is too seldom used to its full potential. A preacher who understands the rudiments and follows them with a sense of the depth of the journey, who furthermore has been initiated into the sacred mysteries, begins to allow the gift of preaching to mature in him and to offer fine aged wine.
