Publisher's Synopsis
"Book One in" The Preacher's Toolbox "series tackles one of the most important forms of preaching for the 21st century "
The first book in Hendrickson's new "Preacher's Toolbox" series brings together a "who's who" group of today's most influential pastors, who share their understanding of prophetic preaching as well as their skills. The book is divided into two sections, "The Calling of Prophetic Preaching" and "The Craft of Prophetic Preaching," which deliver clear themes and practical takeaways on the art of preaching prophetically. Speaking with grace and authority, preachers such as Francis Chan, Mark Buchanan, John Ortberg, Mark Driscoll, Timothy Keller, and Anne Graham Lotz offer Biblical and personal messages on prophetic preaching while addressing commonly held questions such as:
- What's the purpose and aim of prophetic preaching?
- How do you do it?
- What are the common misconceptions?
- How does a preacher challenge but not overwhelm people with the call of discipleship?
