Preaching by Comparison: Supernatural Power in Bible Application - Paperback

How can Christian communicators make biblical material resonate for listeners through the power of the Holy Spirit and by means of common human experience? How might the preacher invent images, stories, and parables to supplement teaching? Preaching by Comparison is a handbook on how to do practical application and move speech from engagement to encounter through the door of human experience, making one's teaching reverberate in the minds of listeners. It breaks down the nuts and bolts of sermonic illustration for the teacher of scripture and provides an exciting way of thinking about preaching, one that helps capture the ordinary and offer structure for relevant application. This book is written for anyone who wants to make the Bible live in new and dynamic ways.
