First sentence: Sometimes when we are cleaning out a cluttered desk drawer or leafing through a scrapbook rediscovered in a box in the attic, we run across a long-forgotten snapshot, a photograph which not only brings back memories but also marks the distance we have traveled between then and now.
Description: "This collection of twenty-nine articles by international experts in the area of homiletics coincides with the revival of interest in preaching over the last twenty-five years. It is practical without being merely tips for preachers; and it offers the necessary theoretical discussion for anyone who wants to take the art of preaching seriously. No important issue has been omitted and, taken as a whole, the book constitutes a first class introduction to the principles, processes, context and theology of preaching."--BOOK JACKET.
