Sermon Preparation

Imagine writing a sermon that must be original, insightful, useful, challenging, comforting . . . once a week. That’s exactly what most preachers are called upon to do while seeing to all of the other responsibilities that comprise their vocation.

Book four in The Preacher’s Toolbox series tackles the art and craft of sitting down to face a blank computer screen and coming up with a message that feeds and even entertains the listener. Expert preachers, speakers and teachers share the results of years of doing just that.
