About this title

Synopsis

'Why do so many preachers make the most exciting news in the world sound so boring?' That is the question driving this unusual book. In a series of honest, personal and humorous letters, the author also answers the question, 'What will it take to inspire great preaching for the 21st century?'. Ronald Boyd-MacMillan rejects the modern fixation with form in current homiletics and advocates a return to the practice of eight fundamentals for great preaching. The insights from 2,000 years of preaching history and twenty years of personal preaching experience across three continents are applied to the needs of the 21st century. This is a humorous yet hard-hitting guide to explosive modern preaching.
