The call to preach is just that- a call to preach. The call to preach, however, is more than just preaching. The call to preach is a call to prepare. Too many pastors have refrained from preparation while they await the Holy Spirit to do all of the work. God expects preachers to prepare sermons as much as possible and allow Him to prepare the preachers. Join Dr. Jerry Vines and Dr. Jim Shaddix as they achieve a balanced approach to teaching sermon preparation in Power in the Pulpit. This book combines the essential perspectives of a pastor of forty years with another pastor who also devotes daily time to training pastors in the context of theological education. Thus, Power in the Pulpit is a practical preaching help from a pastoral perspective in the tradition where expository preaching is a paramount and frequent event in the life of the local church. Power in the Pulpit is the combined work of Dr. Vines's two earlier publications on preaching: A Practical Guide to Sermon Preparation (Moody Press, 1985) and A Guide to Effective Sermon Delivery (Moody Press, 1986). Dr. Shaddix carefully organizes and supplements the material to offer this useful resource which closes the gap between classroom theory and what a pastor experiences in his weekly sermon preparation.

Dr. Joe H. Cothen’s The Pulpit is Waiting shares his insights in teaching how to preach—which lies at the very core of a pastor’s work. Drawing on more than forty years of experience as a pastor and instructor, Dr. Cothen explains how to balance the responsibilities towards congregation and church while still maintaining the ability to communicate and connect with parishioners—especially teenagers—through preaching. In the pulpit, the preacher must maintain a relationship with listeners through more than sermons full of Biblical references. The lessons to be learned from the Bible can be applied to everyone’s daily circumstances through association. The Good News can be delivered in a variety of life affirming ways through stories that foster understanding and community that will help people recognize the miraculous in the ordinary. Such strategies capture the congregation's attention, and only by maintaining the interest of the congregation is the pastor able to convey his message—and His message.
