Preaching in Pictures: Using Images for Sermons That Connect (Artistry of Preaching Series)

By Peter Jonker

How often do poets, advertisers, and movie makers influence Sunday sermons? Perhaps these image experts have much to offer pastors. Author Peter Jonker looks to these professionals as he examines the importance of having a controlling, vivid, dominant image that repeats throughout sermons. In Preaching in Pictures, Jonker details how a controlling image helps to unify the sermon and to communicate the sermon's central thought. The best sermons center around a compelling image that embodies either the trouble present in the Biblical text, or the trouble-destroying grace of God that the text proclaims. Jonker offers exercises designed to help pastors find strong, controlling images for their sermons. Preaching in Pictures is the third book in the Artistry of Preaching Series.
