This is a spiritual and practical guide book for preachers, focusing not on why we preach, nor what we preach, but on how to live and serve as a preacher. Lucy Berry offers the lessons of many years' experience as a preacher, poet, communicator and public speaker, with advice on balancing one's public role and personal responsibility while attempting deeper preaching. In short, cheerful, challenging and encouraging chapters, the book covers everything from motivation and biblical authority to hecklers and wardrobe malfunctions.
