Overview

For those in local church ministry, it is often a pressing matter to find the time to take care of their own souls. More often than not, pastors tend to prioritize sermon preparation and delivery as their primary tasks, when actually their first task should be their own spiritual health. It is for this purpose that this book is written--to encourage pastors to soul care before sermon preparation. If pastors will prepare their own hearts, the sermon will fall in line and permeate the hearts of the listeners.

Key Features

• Encourages pastors to soul care before sermon preparation.
• Explores the relationship between spiritual disciplines and preaching.
• Shows how the task of preaching requires both soul preparation and public proclamation.

Praise for the Print Edition

Homiletical resources tend to emphasize the technical aspects of preaching to the neglect of the spiritual aspects. Campbell offers a much-needed course correction. This little book explores the relationship between spiritual disciplines and preaching, as well as the relationship between pastoral ministry and sermon delivery. This will be a gift to pastors and students of preaching for decades to come.
