Preaching: The Art Of Narrative Exposition

"A lifetime of preaching and teaching the art of preaching crackles and pops in this bonfire of a book. In sentences of heat and light--blazing passion, luminous intelligence--Calvin Miller, one of our best preachers and writers, tells us what he does best--and why and how."--Eugene Peterson, professor emeritus of spiritual theology, Regent College "Calvin Miller comes as a master storyteller to teach us how to tell the gospel to a generation thirsting for narratives to explain our world."--Bryan Chapell, president, Covenant Theological Seminary "If you are a preacher, read this book! Calvin Miller has a lot to say about preaching, and he says it well. Preaching: The Art of Narrative Exposition may take a few hours to read, but it can change your preaching for a lifetime."--Haddon Robinson, Harold John Ockenga Professor of Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary "Miller's work on narrative exposition is an important contribution that will help both novice and veteran preachers explore new approaches to proclaiming biblical truth."--Michael Duduit, editor, Preaching magazine "Miller will encourage you to take risks, to explore new ways of crafting a sermon that will be memorable as well as biblically substantive."--Reg Grant, professor of pastoral ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary "Informative, inspirational, and utterly engaging, it's a must-read for all who are involved in the ongoing challenge of biblical preaching in a postmodern culture!"--Scott Wenig, professor of applied theology, Denver Seminary

The pastors and seminary students who browse the shelves of Christian bookstores are looking for resources that will help them inject vigor and passion into their ministry. What they need is a book on narrative exposition, a book that will help them connect to the younger, contemporary members in the church such as GenXers and millenials. This is that book. Because they are speaking to a younger society more attuned to lively dialogue and visual images, pastors need a fresh wineskin for a timeless message of redemption. Calvin Miller, who has preached and equipped preachers for decades, offers a volume of helpful insights for pastors to deliver the heart of the gospel via the Jesus-endorsed vessel of compelling storytelling. For the working pastor, Miller's crash course on preaching is a welcomed study.
