In this new, revised form, it continues its outstanding qualities, with much input from recent homiletical studies and from the preaching of women.

Endorsements

"Killinger's book provides the essential tools for seminary students to learn how to plan and construct good sermons. His book also provides a stimulating "reawakening" or continuing education experience for a busy pastor who wants to improve preaching skills. I would recommend this book highly."
— William Powell Tuck, First Baptist Church, Lumberton, North Carolina, formerly of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky

"John Killinger is one of the veterans of the preaching art in our day. He has participated in every facet of this creative process—teaching and preaching, writing on the subject, and most importantly, doing it brilliantly. This volume reflects the growth of his insight over the last fifteen years. What was highly relevant and helpful a decade and a half ago has obviously been enriched and reshaped as new experiences have come his way."
— John R. Claypool, IV, Saint Luke's Episcopal Church, Birmingham, Alabama
