As a number of you know I'm in the early stages of learning to preach, a skill I am aware that a sizeable number of my readers are proficient in. I am primarily learning to do this through the material in Faith and Worship, (the approved Methodist training course). It is always useful, though, when you're learning to do something to find other helpful resources and it appears that the Bible Fresh people have produced a free downloadable E-book, "refreshing preaching".
What the book contains is advice from experienced preachers for those of us who are just learning. Seems like a good idea to me. This EA article explains the thinking behind it.
Oh and for the praying types out there I am currently preparing for the service to see if they'll let me go on trial. For the non-churchy types out there, that means I'm effectively preparing for a PGCE style observation to see if my leading a service is up to the right standard needed to carry on with the preaching course.
