Progress in the Pulpit: How to Grow in Your Preaching

Preaching is a craft that is continually being honed, improving with both age and experience. Like musical instruments, preachers get better over time—unless, of course, they neglect maintenance. Drs. Jerry Vines and Jim Shaddix's Progress in the Pulpit is an indispensable resource for seasoned preachers looking to move onward and upward in the high call of preaching.

Building on the time-tested success and foundational insights Vines and Shaddix forwarded in their earlier book, Power in the Pulpit, this resource explores the finer points of preaching. Topics include:

Connect to audiences without compromising biblical truthPlan, evaluate, and get feedback on sermonsBattle biblical illiteracy in your congregationEmploy word studies and other technical aspects of biblical interpretationIncrease imagination and creativity in sermon writingExtend the life of a sermon via social media, small groups, and moreEstablish habits for continued growth

The combined effort of these two lifelong preachers, Progress in the Pulpit offers a storehouse of wisdom that will guide preachers in staying sharp and growing in the craft of faithfully proclaiming God's Word.
