Synopsis

Using a compelling narrative format, this book offers fresh thinking about how God entrusts the communication of His Word to flawed people. Preaching with Integrity follows the continuing story of Jack Newman begun in Preaching with Conviction. Jack is a pastor who learns that, despite his flaws and despite his failings, God graciously uses him to help people hear from God. The book expands the integrative homiletic model introduced in Preaching with Conviction, helping the preacher discover the message, construct the sermon, internalize the content, and deliver God's Word. The narrative section of the book is followed by two substantive appendixes—"Clinic in Integrative Preaching" and "Only Human: Toward a Homiletic Anthropology."

• Engaging narrative format
• New addition to a best-selling series
• Author is well known among homileticians
• Practical application of key preaching principles

From the Back Cover

“None of us is above temptation. We all have our limits. The question is how we’ll respond when we bump into the boundaries.”

—from the Preface

A large percentage of pastors admit to having sexual contact with someone other than their spouse. This is a sobering reminder that the ones called to speak the very words of God have feet of clay. How do fallen and failing people preach with moral integrity?

This compelling sequel to Preaching with Conviction follows the fictional story of Jack Newman, a pastor struggling with the idea that God could use imperfect humans to preach His divine word.

Through Jack Newman’s experiences, Preaching with Integrity provides hope for those struggling to maintain integrity in ministry. This book also expands the integrative preaching model first found in Preaching with Conviction, providing practical help for a preaching ministry marked by integrity.

“Kenton Anderson may well be the next creative voice that evangelicals have been waiting for.”

—Calvin Miller

“This book is sobering, challenging, and refreshing."
