Preaching is a great privilege that the Lord grants us, but let me say that, I am far from being a good preacher and I believe that most preachers, we find ourselves in the same situation. We are grateful and very excited with the Lord for serving in preaching, but we must not forget that there are many things that we can and need to develop. In that sense, books like "Small Preaching" become very important for the preacher's learning.
Dr. Jonathan Pennington, offers us a very accessible and enjoyable book, to develop our preaching. Unlike other books, this one offers us small but very valuable advice that will help us in three areas: The personality of the preacher, in which we find matters that have to do with the character of the preacher; the preparation to preach, how to improve our writing process and exposure to the text; and the practice of preaching.
Some may be tempted to go to the final part of the book (the most practical), but I really advise you that all parts are very good and useful. Personally, the first part caught my attention, which deals with aspects such as handling criticism and praise, issues that we preachers overlook, and that we are not used to handling in the best way. Each chapter addresses issues we have grappled with from the personal to the practical, such as the process of writing a sermon or delivering a sermon.
It is a short book, but with a very big goal: That we become better preachers. If you are a pastor or preach occasionally, this book will be of great help to you.
