You can teach the craft, but you must first form the heart. Many preachers want to preach better, but they don't always know how to go about improving, and most books on preaching focus on the mechanics of the craft. But preaching involves more than the steps from a text to a sermon, because every time a preacher stands up to preach, their character shines through—for better or for worse. In The Heart of the Preacher, Rick Reed focuses on the personal heart preparation required before any preacher is ready to preach. He explores issues preachers often wrestle with—like discouragement, insecurity, and pride. He then offers practices to fight these challenges and form a heart that carries the fruit of the Spirit into the pulpit. It takes more than a good speaker to preach. It takes a Spirit-filled person. This book will help you check your heart and cultivate the most important aspect of preaching: your character.

Monday = A God-given opportunity to begin again. The message is worth keeping top of mind as every single Monday gives us a chance for new opportunities. But strangely, everyone celebrates the end of the workweek by exclaiming, “TGIF!” Larry Dickman, a salesman, former part-time pastor, and motivational speaker turns that logic on its head with this homage to taking pride in work. He highlights how every Monday gives each of us one more opportunity to do better and be better. Learn how to: • overcome last week’s mistakes; • appreciate life’s blessings; • decide what you want out of life; • leave a lasting legacy. Throughout the book, Dickman looks to the lives of legends from all walks of life, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Lou Holtz, Elvis Presley, and Gen. Douglas MacArthur to highlight important lessons. He also shares wisdom from some lesser-known individuals, such as Saladmaster dealer Mark Benson, Saladmaster salesman Chris Nathatis, and other business professionals. Join the author as he shares lessons from a lifetime of always walking into Mondays with a smile.

A rich articulation of John Wesley's theology that is appreciative of the old and mindful of the new, faithful to the past and attentive to the present. This work carefully displays John Wesley's eighteenth century theology in its own distinct historical and social location, but then transitions to the twenty-first century through the introduction of contemporary issues. So conceived, the book is both historical and constructive demonstrating that the theology of Wesley represents a vibrant tradition. Cognizant of Wesley's own preferred vocabulary, Collins introduces Wesley's theological method beginning with a discussion of the doctrine of God. "In this insightful exposition the leitmotif of holy love arises out of Wesley's reflection on the nature of the divine being as well as other major doctrines." (Douglas Meeks)

Like Eugene Peterson's other books on pastoring, Under the Unpredictable Plant is full of stimulating insights, candid observations, and biblically grounded prescriptions. Yet this book emanates with a special poignancy out of Peterson's own crisis experience as a pastor. Peterson tells about the "abyss," the "gaping crevasse," the "chasm" that he experienced, early in his ministry, between his Christian faith and his pastoral vocation. He was astonished and dismayed to find that his personal spirituality, his piety, was inadequate for his vocation -- and he argues that the same is true of pastors in general. In the book of Jonah -- a parable with a prayer at its center -- Peterson finds a subversive, captivating story that can help pastors recover their "vocational holiness." Using the Jonah story as a narrative structure, Peterson probes the spiritual dimensions of the pastoral calling and seeks to reclaim the ground taken over by those who are trying to enlist pastors in religious careers.
