Where do you start on writing a sermon? Unless beginners have been exposed to good models of preaching, they are often unsure about what to do and how to do it. This book is not meant to cover every aspect of preaching. It is a manual for beginners, drawing on the author's many years' experience both in training and in ministry. Starting from the underlying principles, this book goes on to analyse the process of preaching (discovering and digesting, designing, defining and delivering) and then ways of assessing progress. Each chapter begins with a selection of quotations - sometimes amusing, always thought-provoking, which help engage the reader in the issues. Many otherwise good books on preaching concentrate on spelling out the principles, wrongly assuming that the practice will then take care of itself. This is not just a textbook on the theory, but a guidebook that gives plenty of detail about the practice as well. By the time you finish it you should be well on the way to behaving as every preacher should, instinctively reaching out for the clearest, simplest ways of communicating the Bible's message. Allan Chapple has pastored churches in Western Australia and England, has taught at the Seminari Theoloji Malaysia, and has served as Perth staffworker for the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students. He was the founding Director of the Perth Centre for Applied Christian Studies, and then founding Principal of Trinity Theological College, where he now serves as senior lecturer in New Testament.

Industry Reviews

"This book is, primarily, a very readable and practical introduction to expository preaching. It comes from the pen of an experienced preacher who desires to encourage others to give themselves to this vital ministry... I am convinced that the reading and study of this book will be immensely beneficial, not just for the preacher but to the hearers as well!" - Evangelicals Now
