You can teach the craft, but you must first form the heart. Many preachers want to preach better, but they don't always know how to go about improving, and most books on preaching focus on the mechanics of the craft. But preaching involves more than the steps from a text to a sermon, because every time a preacher stands up to preach, their character shines through -- for better or for worse. In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed focuses on the personal...

"The Overshadowed Preacher breaks open one of the most important, unexamined affirmations of preaching: the presence of the living Christ in the sermon. Jerusha Matsen Neal argues that Mary's conceiving, bearing, and naming of Jesus in Luke's nativity account is a potent description of this mystery.
