If you haven’t read Progress in the Pulpit: How to Grow in Your Preaching by Jim Shaddix and Jerry Vines, we encourage you to take a look at it. Dr. Shaddix continually worked to proclaim the
Word better.
“Like musical instruments, preachers get better over time—unless, of course, they neglect maintenance. Progress in the Pulpit is for seasoned preachers looking to refresh their craft and receive guidance for contemporary challenges to preaching.
While most preaching books are geared toward new preachers, Progress in the Pulpit builds on the basics and focuses on what often falls into neglect. You will learn to better:
Connect to audiences without compromising biblical truth
Plan, evaluate, and get feedback on sermons
Battle biblical illiteracy in your congregation
Employ word studies and other technical aspects of biblical interpretation
Increase imagination and creativity in sermon writing
Extend the life of a sermon via social media, small groups, and more
Establish habits for continued growth”.
