Successful Lay Preaching / Bresee, W Floyd PhD / (PB/1997-1997/CLN/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is lightly used and very clean.*

Successful Lay Preaching has been written to help equip elders and other lay leaders to prepare and deliver interesting, inspiring talks and sermons. Also, pastors often long for such a tool to help rejuvenate their own preaching. Successful Lay Preaching is the culmination of years of teaching homiletics and sets forth clearly and logically the step-by-step process of preparing and delivering an effective sermon. The method that Dr. Floyd Bresee presents combines recognized techniques of secular public speaking with time-tested theories of preaching.
This book will show you:
-How to prepare sermons that are truly Bible-based and Christ-centered.
-The "segment preaching" method, a whole new approach to preaching that guarantees sermons that are both biblical and practical.
-Ten simple steps to follow in sermon preparation.
-How to get started. Included are 10 sample sermons to illustrate how sermons are prepared, and 20 "seeds" from which you can quickly and easily grow your own sermons.
