Reflections on My Call to Preach: Connecting the Dots
"For two generations, Fred Craddock has been the single most influential voice in preaching in North America and throughout the world. As a scholar, he is quoted more than any other authority in preaching. As a teacher, he sits at the desk with many preachers as we open the Bible early in the week to begin the movement toward a sermon for Sunday. As a preacher he continues to be a pastoral presence with congregations and walks with people through the agony and ecstasy. Yet he is so unassuming, so physically non-imposing, so self-effacing, so warm and generous." --Ronald J. Allen, Christian Theological Seminary
