A Consumer's Guide to Preaching by Jay E Adams

A Consumer's Guide to Preaching by Jay E Adams

Most preaching is boring."I don't get anything out of my preacher's sermons.""From the minute he reads the text, I know what he is going to say.""These---and dozens of complaints like them---may be heard in many gatherings of Christians talking seriously about their church. What's the problem? Is it all the preacher's fault?"Jay Adams says NO! Preaching is not a one-way street where the responsibility for communicating God's message rests completely on the shoulders of the preacher. The listener plays an active role in the communication process---for good or ill.This book offers help for the consumers of preaching. It will:?introduce you to some of the biblical guidelines that point out the listener's responsibilities.?confront and offer solutions to many problems encountered in listening to sermons.?outline a program to help sincere churchgoers sharpen their communication skills.?deal with the needs of those who must listen to inadequate preaching. And much more.
