Reviews
If preachers will devote themselves to reading, praying, and listening their way through this book, it will push the public preaching of the gospel in the direction it so desperately needs to go., It is one thing to challenge preachers to prepare and deliver sermons that not only inform but transform; it is another thing altogether to offer them a way to reach that goal. Lori Carrell invites preachers to engage in reflective practices and constructive activities to break bad preaching habits and develop an approach to preaching based on solid sermon communication research., Lori Carrell is tenacious in her determination to help preachers get better at preaching the most important message on the planet. I unreservedly recommend Preaching that Matters to anyone who takes serious wanting to get better in their preaching., This book equips preachers to reflect critically on their current process of sermon preparation and to reenvision it from the inside out., Dr. Carrell astutely reminds preachers that our assemblies expect an encounter with God. A spiritually transformative encounter, which God has called us to create by our words, is something this book can help us achieve with its wisdom and exercises., Dr. Carrell astutely reminds preachers that our assemblies expect an encounter with God.

Synopsis
Listeners do love their pastors and they agree with the sermon content they hear,' Lori Carrell once explained to a group of pastors, 'but most sermons don't ask for change, and most listeners don't experience spiritual growth as a result of the sermon.' A participant responded: 'Let's get practical. I want my preaching to make a difference. What changes are worth making, and how do I make them?' In Preaching that Matters, Lori Carrell shares answers to that question, drawing on the experiences of thousands of people-preachers and their listeners-whose effort she has studied over many years. In each chapter of this book, she offers research revelations about high impact preaching that will encourage and challenge readers to continue to grow as preachers. She then links these principles with Reflective Practice Challenges (RPCs), exercises that honor the rich experiences of pastors while opening opportunities for self-analysis, spiritual introspection, conversation with a trusted other, or implementation of research-based preaching recommendations. The activities have been used by hundreds of other pastors, and each RPC has been carefully selected for its demonstrated contribution to the process of transforming sermon communication. A selection of the RPCs are available as a downloadable file. E-mail resourcematerial@rowman.com for more information. As a communication expert, Carrell approaches preaching from a 'sermon communication' paradigm. She begins with the task of identifying the spiritually transformative purpose of the sermon and then explores exegeting, organizing, deepening, and delivering the sermon, as well as listening to the listeners and planning for continued transformation. Her own goal is simple: to inspire and equip clergy to make changes that will enhance the transformative power of their preaching.

    I received the books very quickly and in great condition. There was a bit of problem when I received the books because I quickly realized that one of the books was missing. When I contacted the seller, they responded right away and fixed the issue. I am very pleased with my order, and I would definitely order from them again.

    All books were new and in great condition, there was a small bend on one corner but I’m okay with that as it probably happens during shipping. I bought this set to display on my bookshelf because I love the covers. Shipping was okay, I did place the order on a Saturday so the packing took a little longer but once I got a tracking number the books arrived within a couple of days. Would purchase with this seller again.
