Come and See

Arts & Literature

“Though Scripture brims with poetry, psalms, and other artistic expressions of worship and teaching, most of our bookshelves today appear bland by comparison. Dan and Derek Nicksich have helped fill this gap in our libraries with Come and See, offering poems, hymns, and mediations that give voice to our prayers, expression to our longings, and send our imaginations soaring to the heavens above.”

Take Up and Preach

Preaching & Worship

“Take Up and Preach offers preachers a practical, repeatable process to ground their sermons in the biblical text, bridge that text to contemporary listeners and circumstances, and to do so in a manner that honors the intent, literary form, and flow of the text. Dr. Banting has offered the field of homiletics a helpful tool that will extend the ministry of biblical preaching into the next generation.”

Taken Up and Preached

Preaching & Worship

“Taken Up and Preached offers example after example of biblically faithful, culturally relevant sermons, following Blayne Banting's method of sermon preparation that extends both the truth and the purpose of the text. In these pages, pastors and students will find ideas, inspiration, and models of preaching that will deepen and enliven their ministries.”

Taking Up Preaching

Preaching & Worship

“Preaching in our complex world requires wisdom, courage, and tact. Further, it requires preachers to carefully assess themselves, the Scriptures they preach, and the cultural and congregational contexts in which they preach. With Taking Up Preaching, Blayne Banting provides an invaluable guide for preachers who have the courage to proclaim God’s timeless truths, leading them through this assessment process and equipping them for a fruitful life of ministry and preaching.”
