Better Easier Preaching—The Book!

Fellow preachers,

I'm Rev. Dr. Lance Haverkamp, and I'm thrilled to share with you the release of “Better, Easier Preaching.” This book is the result of years of experience in ministry and a deep passion for the art of storytelling in preaching.

In Better, Easier Preaching, I explore the transformative power of Narrative Theology and how it can revolutionize the way we approach sermon preparation and delivery. By drawing upon the rich tapestry of biblical stories, we can discover a more natural, effective, and engaging way to communicate spiritual truths to our congregations.

This book is designed to be a comprehensive resource for preachers at all stages of their ministry, offering practical insights and techniques for crafting compelling sermons that resonate with listeners on a deep level. I provide a clear framework for sermon preparation and delivery, emphasizing the importance of following Jesus' example in preaching through the use of parables, explanations, and applications.

Throughout the book, we'll delve into:

• Understanding and applying the principles of Narrative Theology to our preaching

• Utilizing valuable resources like the Narrative Lectionary, “Uncommon Preaching,” and the Revised Common Lectionary

• Drawing insights from biblical narratives and adapting them into engaging sermon content

• Delivering narrative-driven sermons with confidence and skill

• Evaluating and refining our preaching to continuously grow in effectiveness

Better, Easier Preaching is an invitation to embark on a journey of growth and discovery, deepening our understanding of Narrative Theology and enhancing our storytelling skills to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. Regardless of your experience level or denominational background, this book aims to equip you with the tools and inspiration needed to unlock the full potential of your preaching ministry.

I've strived to make the approach in Better, Easier Preaching denominationally neutral, focusing on the power of biblical narratives and the art of storytelling. By doing so, I hope this book will be a valuable resource for preachers from various backgrounds, offering a fresh perspective on sermon preparation and delivery.

I invite you to join me on this journey of discovering the power of narrative-driven preaching. Keep an eye out for more information on the official release date and pre-order details for “Better, Easier Preaching.” In the coming weeks, I'll also be sharing blog posts on three powerful preaching tools featured in the book: the Narrative Lectionary, UnCommon Preaching, and the Revised Common Lectionary.

Together, let's embrace the power of storytelling and unlock the full potential of our preaching ministries.

Christ's Blessings,
Rev. "Dr. Lance" Haverkamp
