"Karoline Lewis once again demonstrates why she is one of the nation's preeminent preachers and professors of the craft we call "preaching." Lewis's book beautifully frames diverse approaches to homiletics with sensitivity and passion, expanding the reader's knowledge, the practitioner's depth, and the layperson's understanding of this often-misunderstood art form.
