Pulpit Journeys

However clever and powerful the words, however full of scriptural exposition the preacher, however huge the congregation - good preachers can only exist where there are good listeners and where there is God. But like all public speaking, preaching is an isolating activity. Many preachers receive very little feedback and find it difficult to improve their pattern and style. As a result, both congregations and ministers often have low expectations of the sermon. This honest and passionate book is an attempt to reverse this trend. In a collection of personal stories and interviews, some of the most prominent preachers in the UK describe, in their own words, their formative influences and the journeys that led them to where they are today. Packed with powerful testimonies and insight into the fascinating world of the preacher, this book is joyful and absorbing as well as a wonderful resource. Contributors include Richard Bewes, Mike Breen, Steve Chalke, Ian Coffey, James D. G. Dunn, Susan Durber, Joel Edwards, Faith Forster, Roger T. Forster, Rob Frost, Leslie Griffiths, Andy Hawthorne, Anthony Reddie, Simon Vibert, David Wilkinson.
