Synopsis

A Groundbreaking Resource for PreachingIf the church wishes to converse effectively with a culture, it must learn the culture’s language. Today, shifts in technology mean that language is increasingly one of symbols and metaphors, stories and images—not words.So what does this mean for the sermon, that long-standing, word-based tradition of Christianity?In this ground-breaking resource, bestselling author Leonard Sweet offers an alternative to traditional models of preaching, one that is fitting to a new culture and a new mode of thinking. The first book of its kind to move preaching beyond its pulpit-centric fixation and toward more interactive, participatory modes of communication, Sweet presents both a challenge and a path forward for a church struggling to maintain its relevance in a post-modern, media-saturated culture.Accompanying images and interactive content is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I mostly enjoyed this book and Leonard Sweet has a great approach to preaching that seems really unique and enlivening. I just had a tough time keeping up with all of his made-up words and phrases that he used to describe things in preaching.......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy on February 23, 2023

Eyebrow Raiser and Eye Roller For every 10 words he used he made up 2. He beat the metaphor of Blood to death, resurrected it with a blood transfusion then beat it to death again… for 300 pages… Probably 100 pages worth of helpful and insightful content.......more
