What a novel idea to write a preaching book as a novel! “Preaching with Freshness” is itself a fresh approach to teaching homiletics. The story seamlessly relays essential principles on the art of preaching.
If you are a full-time preacher, you will feel yourself sympathizing with the protagonist’s struggle to preach captivating sermons. You will also appreciate the sound advice given by Dr. Vickerson.
Here are some of the lessons I learned by reading this book:
have a sermon schedule
start sermon preparation early
use aphorisms
gather and use sermon illustrations
Favorite Quotes:
“Preaching is not only your high calling, but it is also your whole calling”
“The longer you are in ministry, the more disciplined effort it takes to preach with freshness and vitality.”
