A wonderfully jargon-free and practical introduction to preaching that will encourage you to craft your own unique style.

Preaching is a complex skill, demanding a variety of abilities. Skills like Biblical interpretation, an understanding of core Christian beliefs, a firm believer in what you preach and a master of several communications skills to interact with a congregation. Such a long list can be daunting, but it is certainly not unattainable.

This step-by-step guide includes practical exercises that will build confidence and knowledge. More importantly, you will be pushed to grow your own art of preaching and taught to research and deliver great sermons.
