Three contemporary, humorous parables of a preacher who struggles with his need to changeSam the preacher wonders what has gone wrong with his sermons. Are people still listening? Well-known storyteller and communications professor Calvin Miller combines his fiction writing with his insight into preaching to address the changes faced by today’s preachers, especially the fact that contemporary congregations have shifted to a different way of listening. How can Sam recover his passion for preaching?In this short, entertaining, story-driven book, church leaders will see honest reflections of themselves. But the narrative humor also provides a clever way to stimulate thought and discussion on how preachers and preaching are changing. Some places in the story will lead to laughter, others will cause readers to pause and reflect. But whatever the reaction, The Sermon Maker leaves the reader encouraged and changed.Extensive commentary on the stories provides insight from the author into the best ways to communicate. Just as the story in the tremendously popular Who Moved My Cheese? impacted readers in the business world who were facing change, so this book is designed as a quick but stimulating story for any church leader who preaches or is concerned about the state of preaching today.

Holy Grit: The Will to Persevere is a refreshing oasis in a culture parched by doubt and despair. It is a clarion call to leave the cave of resignation and begin a godly perseverance movement. M. Dean Register, a gifted pastoral theologian, draws on years of wisdom as he examines prominent figures from the Bible who chose to endure rather than quit. Having observed many people who once burned with devotion only to abandon their faith, Register makes an inspiring and compelling case for recovery. He deftly illustrates truth with engaging anecdotes that motivate readers to rejoin the company of the courageous in order to re-sign rather than resign. He also considers questions such as: • How can we experience the heat of a burning passion to persevere with holy grit? • Why is “waiting” an opportunity to seek Him in spirit and truth? • How can we find ways to forgive others? Holy Grit is a treasure for weary and wounded evangelicals and a straightforward challenge to reignite a love relationship with Jesus Christ. It is good medicine for anyone who needs to persevere when life hits hard.
