Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-05 00:00:00 Shawn Samuel I've read an entire stack of books on preaching this week, but this was by far the best. Bonus: it includes one of the best summaries of the gospel (Note: *not* substitutionary atonement theory) I've read. |
Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-02 00:00:00 Martin Ouellet This easy read is a great addition to the dialog on the role of celebration in preaching. Dr. Thomas argues that celebration need not take on predictable forms found in any particular culture or within any particular group - but that the celebration comes from a much deeper place where the human experience transgresses the lines of race, culture, age, and gender. A place where the experience of life may be born of different events - but the human response to pain, suffering, fear, hope, joy, despair, and so on, find their way into the heart and experience of every human. Dr. Thomas then outlines his sermonic movement to the final moment of celebration, giving both instruction and warning with regard to creating a genuine celebration that will resonate in the hearts of human beings across the lines that otherwise divide us. A Must-Read for preachers who seek to celebrate or understand the role of celebration in preaching. |
