Praise for the Print Edition

This is a page turner—sweeping us along with its energy, uncovering one layer after another, introducing us to one facet of truth after another. Yet it also stands as a work of reference, a text book, a vade mecum. Two seasoned preachers have laid bare their art and we can all feel inspired, encouraged, goaded, [and] challenged by their work.

—Lord Griffiths, superintendent minister, Wesley’s Chapel, London

The book . . . will be useful for those who teach preachers and those responsible for providing refresher courses

—Theology, vol. 115, no. 1

Whether you are looking for a more manageable creative process or aspire to start a school for preachers, there is plenty here to help a preacher think more carefully about it—and more clearly.

—Jana Childers, professor, San Francisco Theological Seminary
