Enflamed by the Sacramental Word

Preaching & Worship

“If your preaching companions include Mary Catherine Hilkert, Walter Breuggemann, or Paul Janowiak, include Vince Pastro's Enflamed by the Sacramental Word: Preaching and the Imagination of the Poor. The thread of the Sacred Preaching allows Pastro to bring together disparate pieces of history as he traces the work for justice and the influence from the early Spanish Dominicans to Dietrich Bonhoeffer today. A must read for anyone interested in theological reflection and preaching.”

Keeping the Ink Wet

Preaching & Worship

“As a member of the Order of Preachers, I found Kevin’s book insightful and challenging yet practical and joyously free of jargon. He articulates the theater communication skills presiders and preachers could usefully develop to more fully engage the faith community when celebrating both word and sacrament. This book is a real gift and profound invitation for us, ministers new or seasoned, who want to become more effective in our work.”
