I'm getting my Doctor of Ministry degree in preaching, and so I've read lots of books about giving sermons through the years. This is one of the best.

Timothy Warren has several articles defending the topical expository sermon. He is ...             Christ-Centered Preaching: Redeeming the Expository Sermon26 reviews Bryan Chapell Baker Academic, 2005 Preacher's Helper While this book is biased towords expository preaching it is a great asset for reviewing one's preaching style and methods and for lining up good preaching with good exegesis!             Preaching12 reviews Fred B Craddock Abingdon Press, 2010 An Outstanding Resource! Fred Craddock has provided a timeless resource to current and future preachers. Not only that, this book is valuable to anyone looking for a clear and productive method for biblical studies. "Preaching" should be read with two other resources close at hand: a Bible and a book or recordings of an exceptional preacher/sermon crafter. For me, that was Debbie Blue's Sensual Orthodoxy.

Also, he finished up the first section calling his ...             Invitation to Biblical Preaching: Proclaiming Truth with Clarity and Relevance (Invitation to Theological ...8 reviews Donald Sunukjian Kregel Academic & Professional, 2007 Exhaustive, but not exhausting - a great book! Donald Sunukjian studied under Haddon Robinson at Dallas Seminary, then also taught there. He now teaches at Talbot Seminary in LA.

Webb Abingdon Press, 2001 Very Helpful I found this book to be very helpful, if not a bit liberating. While the ongoing working example he gives of the preparation process is more of an inductive sermon, the principle of structuring the sermon as a series of logical connected "chunks" of communication (rather than as a hierarchical outline with three alliterated main points) is adaptable to exegetical sermons, as well. When ...             Preaching on Your Feet: Connecting God and The Audience in the Preachable Moment10 reviews Fred R. Lybrand B&H Academic, 2008 Preaching Truth from the Heart - to the Heart I picked up this book at the last conference. Being a methodical type theologian, I had always memorized my sermons. After reading this book, I changed my presentation - but not my exacting exegesis. The response of the congregation has been impressive. The expressive dynamic of "realtime" interaction connected with them just as Fred explained. It could be compared to listening to a sermon on ...             Preaching to a Postmodern World: A Guide to Reaching Twenty-first Century Listeners9 reviews Graham Johnston Baker Books, 2001 Useful guide to modern preaching This is a very helpful book for all preachers regardless of denomination. The chapter about the postmodern way of thinking was most enlightning and answered a lot of questions one might have about young people's way of looking upon the world of today. I only wish I had read it earlier in my career.             Preaching Christ from the Old Testament: A Contemporary Hermeneutical Method13 reviews Sidney Greidanus Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1999 An Important Book for Future Ministers and Teachers One of the greatest challenges that we the ministers and theological teachers of today have is showing to students and parishioners now and toward the future the importance of the Old Testament.

Quicke Baker Books, 2006 This Preacher Understands Leadership Michael Quicke has been criticized for writing a book on leadership because he is first and foremost a preacher, but this project demonstrates a clear understanding of the relationship between preaching and leadership that should exist.

Wilson Abingdon Press, 2007 Day-by-day sermon schedule The best feature of Wilson's book is the section in which he provides helpful tools and exercises for each day in a weekly process of sermon composition.
