The Preacher as Story Teller, by Bob Allen, is an exposition on the methods and styles of homiletics. Intended to provide answers for pastors seeking to revitalize their preaching for congregations that no longer connect with a linear sermon progression, Allen illustrates the many ways pastors can approach telling the story of Scripture. Using the traditional nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill, Allen develops a study on the various ways of constructing a textual study and analyzing the pastor's ability to use differing approaches to discuss the same topic.
