Why Are We So Often Boring? Reflections on Preaching

With the social, economic, political and health concerns inherent in many congregations, writing a sermon can be an exercise in balancing a tough equation: how to rely on the truth and relate it to people’s lives. The purpose of this book is to enthuse, encourage and stimulate those who teach the Bible. Fyall exhorts teachers to rely less on behavioural and attitude centred questions, and more on God’s omnipotent work in the congregation’s hearts.
