PREACHING BASICS by Edward Foley ($12)*

10.49

Over and over, surveys tell us that if someone were to shout out to the church on a Sunday morning, "What do you want?", the roar would come back: "Good preaching!" "When do you want it?" "Now!"

No one wants better preaching more than those who preach. Will you take an hour with this book to think about preaching in a new way? Because preaching:

is not a time-out during liturgy. It is liturgy!
is a conversation, but between whom?
grows out of lots of back-and-forth in which the preacher is forever talking with the lectionary, the liturgy, the world, the arts and the lives of people; and,
like any art, disciplines the artist in a pattern of creation.

"Finally, a practical workbook which builds upon Fulfilled In Your Hearing. Edward Foley has constructed a workable and creative structure for the Word of God, the liturgy and the assembly. This workbook opens up the homiletic process in new ways what will certainly benefit Sunday preachers and congregations for years to come." - Thomas Kane, CSP, of Weston Jesuit School of Theology.
