Ten Books to Read about Preaching
For the next installment in my Ten Books series, I’ve compiled a list of books to check out on preaching. Again, I have not read all of the books recommended, because I don’t think this list should be limited to just my perspective. I sought the input of dozens of clergy women across denominational and ministerial spectrums, and I hope that at least most of these books can speak into your life and ministry experience.
When my preaching well is running dry, I gravitate toward books that help me expand my imagination by teaching me different ways to approach both scripture and my congregation. May you too find something on this list that makes you go, “Hmmm, I’ve never thought about it that way before.”
- Wearing God by Lauren Winner
I read this book early in my ministry, and I’m so glad that I did. Winner’s explorations of the different ways that God is described in the Bible have challenged me to stay true to the different images that I have encountered as a preacher and a Christian.
