Product Description

Over and over, surveys tell us that if someone were to shout out to the church on a Sunday morning, What do you want? The roar would come back: Good preaching! When do you want it? Now!No one wants better preaching more than those who preach. Here you will find a way of homily preparation that really works! Built upon the U.S. Bishops document Fulfilled in Your Hearing, this workbook provides a clear and comprehensive definition of liturgical preaching, the conversation between the assembly and God facilitated by the preacher. Next, you'll find a user-friendly model for a preacher to use in dialogue with the Lectionary, the liturgy, the world, the arts, and the lives of the people who make up the assembly. An effective method is offered for preparing to preach on any given Sunday using seasonal reflection and a day-by-day plan. Sidebars containing quotes and excerpts from other sources, and many worksheets to use for preparation are also included. This book will help anyone who wants better preaching, especially preachers themselves, to see new possibilities and think about preaching in an exciting, new way. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.

FINALLY, a practical workbook for the homiletics classroom! Edward Foley has constructed a workable and creative structure for the Word of God, the liturgy and the baptized assembly. This workbook opens up the homiletic process in new ways that will certainly benefit Sunday preachers and congregations for years to come. -- --Father Thomas Kane, CSP, of Weston Jesuit School of Theology
