In Season and Out

Church Leadership & Ministry

“...refreshing sermons for their clarity and constancy in articulating the call to follow the living Word as mediated by the church’s worship of God through the Christian year.”

Learning to Speak of God

Preaching & Worship

“We are indebted to Mason Lee for this discerning work on the homiletical virtue of preaching. This is the kind of vision we need if preaching and the life of preachers are to recover their rightful place within the larger work of God and the formative activity of the Holy Spirit. In this insightful book, we don’t have to choose between God or ourselves but are invited to patiently wait upon divine grace in all our speaking and living.”

Minding the Web

Theology

“Working in partnership with Robert Dean, Stanley Hauerwas has given us yet another wonderful example of how theology and preaching cannot be divided if both are to serve the church's worship and service of God. Following the lead of both Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Hauerwas and Dean not only tell but show how the work of theology and preaching need each other in order to be intelligible as Christian speech. Minding the Web is a timely book that reconnects preachers with theologians and theologians with preachers for the sake of the gospel that is the very source of their life and work.”

Preaching God's Grand Drama

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Ahmi Lee has provided us with a fresh way of looking at the task of preaching. She calls us to acknowledge the ‘theodramatic’ nature of God’s work and our work in proclaiming the Word. For preachers who are weary of having to choose either ‘textual’ or ‘topical’ preaching, Preaching God’s Grand Drama offers a profoundly rich vision that will inform and inspire an alternative way of seeing that stretches the homiletical imagination to more theologically fitting dimensions. This book is a wonderful example of the kind of integrative thinking we urgently need to practice as preachers and teachers of preaching. I hope it will be widely read.”

Preaching Master Class

Preaching & Worship

“"What a wonderful collection of insightful essays that invite us preachers to learn from the homiletic wisdom of Bishop Will Willimon. Arguably, what is best about this little book is that the teacher of this wisdom has been a faithful preacher of the gospel for more than thirty years. I hope many readers will take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their growth in the art of preaching for building up the faith and life of the church.”

The Word of God for the People of God

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This is good work! I found myself saying 'Amen!' repeatedly as I read through the text. This wise and timely book will guide preachers and worship leaders in the service of the Word for the life and mission of the church.”
