Summary: A Must Read for the Serious Preacher
Comment: This book is for anyone who is serious about preaching; even if you have been preaching for a while! For the new preacher, Lowry explains how to make your sermons interesting, Biblical, relevent, specific and memorable! For the seasoned preacher he illuminates several ideas that you may already be aware of subconciously by using in depth analysis of the five parts of "the sermon as preached" and by giving excelent examples and analogies. Even if you do not adopt his specific format this book enables you to make your style more effective and crisper. This book should be in every preacher's library!

Summary: A Guide to the Art of Preaching in Story
Comment: Story telling is an art and preachers thouroughout history have tried to use this for effectiveness in preaching. Eugene Lowry presents different methods of story telling and the one he describes in section two of the book is an excellent and delightful way of achieving this end. This artistically presented work would enlighten any reader interested in preaching and would inform and instruct even the seasoned preacher of our day.

It has been a guidebook for my own preaching and study of the art of preaching.

Summary: Excellent & concise 'how-to' book on narrative preaching.
Comment: Lowry's book is the best I have read on narrative preaching. He is easy to read and his suggested homiletical plot is remarkably simple and yeteasy to apply to all kinds of texts, regardless of their genre. A narrative sermon - as Lowry has made clear - does not have to be preached from a narrative passage of Scripture. Another excellent point he makes (which needs to be heard by today's preachers) is that the sermon ought NOT be constructed like an essay, which is pieced together one point upon another. No, a sermon is an event which HAPPENS. Therefore the congregation needs to hear and experience the sermon in such a way that it transforms their thinking because they have had an experience which leads them to greater faith in Christ. In teaching homiletics courses in the future, I will certainly make use of this book as a required text!
