This practical, confidence-building guide is for all who want to develop their preaching by homing in on that which points to God in the now. Encouraging preachers in the ways that will make authentic connections with others, it demonstrates that preaching in today's culture requires preachers to 'show up and be present, in person' rather than speak 'in role' or act as religious spokespersons who take no responsibility for their message. Based on the authors' own training of ordinands, it offers: - Insights on how to develop the habit of noticing God in the world; - Strategies for opening up and finding fresh meaning in familiar Bible texts; - Ways of understanding what influences your congregation and your own theology; - Sample sermons that embody these principles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49505451507985,"sku":"GOR012338205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51050491511057,"sku":"NIN9781786223869","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52536123064593,"sku":"NLS9781786223869","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1786223864.jpg?v=1751059223"},{"product_id":"preaching-women-book-liz-shercliff-9780334058380","title":"Preaching Women","description":"Should women who preach, preach as women?    Preaching Women argues that far from being a gender-neutral space, the pulpit is a critical place in which a gender imbalance can begin to be redressed.

But women are there, sometimes in the background, sometimes striding powerfully onto the stage. Their story is moving, prophetic and good news for the congregations to whom we preach.  Out of the Shadows seeks to enable preachers to see these often marginal characters in a new light, offering ideas about how to communicate their stories with power, resonance and punch.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50287254143249,"sku":"GOR012175347","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50575519318289,"sku":"GOR012702649","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53522589679889,"sku":"NLS9780334060697","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0334060699.jpg?v=1751291164"},{"product_id":"may-she-speak-in-the-name-of-the-father-book-liz-shercliff-9780334067160","title":"May She Speak in the Name of the Father","description":"Is the process of ‘formation’ or ministerial education in the Church of England, Baptist churches and other mainstream Christian denominations in the UK an exercise in power that needs to be resisted if marginalised voices are to be heard? May She Speak in the Name of the Father examines how women’s voices and experiences can be silenced and discredited during training, particularly in relation to preaching, examining first the context and culture of formation, particularly in the Church of England, then approaches to homiletics and show how widely accepted approaches act to silence women’s voices. Liz Shercliff goes well beyond a critique of institutions and practices by offering practical suggestions for inclusive pedagogical approaches.   Based on years of experience and conversation with women training for Anglican ministry, and a lively commitment to embodied preaching Shercliff has produced a grounded and inspiring piece of work that is essential reading for all involved in preaching and ministerial education. This volume is an important contribution to homiletics, theological education and ministerial training.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005812465937,"sku":"NGR9780334067160","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53373216129297,"sku":"NLS9780334067160","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53444775444753,"sku":"NIN9780334067160","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780334067160.jpg?v=1767881770"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-liz-shercliff.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
