In Transforming Preaching, David Jackman, reflecting on over fifty years of Word–ministry offers real encouragement and help with some of the ongoing challenges and pitfalls facing the preacher.
Each chapter addresses a different theme that will shape and sharpen the reader in their thinking about what it means to be a faithful expositor and servant of the Word.
Chapter Headings include:
David Jackman is the ideal person to write a book like this. David has been preaching and training preachers longer than many of us have been alive. He is a terrific encourager of preachers and his insights, observations and exhortations will provide great stimulus for your own thinking.
After graduating from Cambridge university, David Jackman worked for six years with the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship, followed by theological studies at Trinity College, Bristol and fifteen years of ministry at Above Bar Church, Southampton. In 1991 he became the founder–director of the Cornhill Training Course in London, a ministry of the Proclamation Trust, with whom he served for eighteen years, latterly as its President. His active “retirement” sees him involved in preaching, training and writing ministries and enjoying family time with his wife, Heather, and their four grandchildren.
Endorsements
This book is full of refreshing wisdom that is so useful and hugely relevant to my ministry. I have highlighted vast swathes of it and have already found myself putting many ideas into practice. I will keep returning to this book and sharing it over many years to come.
David Seckington
Assistant pastor, Trinity Church, London
It must be nearly impossible for a book on preaching by David Jackman (reliable, proven, full–orbed preacher that he has been for fifty years) to be anything but searching, loaded with treasure and heartening. That’s how I found this book to be and that’s how I’m sure it will be for you too. I thank God for David and this ‘conversation’ he has given us on the task that is key to the future of the church.
Simon Manchester
Former Minister, St Thomas’ Anglican Church, Sydney, Australia
This is vintage Jackman! Here is a wealth of perceptive Biblical and pastoral advice and encouragement to preachers. It includes helpful reminders of the need for expository preaching, and also clarifying warnings of some of the traps that expository preachers fall into.
Peter Adam
Vicar Emeritus, St Jude's Church, Carlton, Victoria, Australia
This book draws together a host of themes and vital questions for preachers and would–be preachers, addressing them with the thoroughgoing biblical understanding and deep pastoral wisdom so many of us admire in David. … there are few whose insights are so valuable to those who would follow him in this task.
William J. U. Philip
Minister, The Tron Church, Glasgow
… not just a book to be read once but a resource to dip in to time and time again for encouragement and correction. Perhaps best of all I found in myself a fresh vision and enthusiasm for preaching ministry as I was reminded of the ultimate purpose of preaching, which is to present people mature in Christ.
Mike Neville
Vicar, St Simon Zelotes, London
