Transforming Preaching is a basic text for all those approaching the ministry of preaching for the first time. David Heywood roots preaching in a clear understanding of the nature and authority of the word of God; explains how people listen, learn and grow in the Christian life and provides clear guidelines on how to construct a sermon.

The reader is also challenged to think beyond the traditional monologue approach to preaching and the book includes a guide to the principles involved in interactive preaching. This new title in the SPCK Library of Ministry series provides a firm foundation on which to grow and develop the reader's preaching skills and will also serve as a useful refresher for those who want to reflect on their ministry.
