It seems so contrived in many ways. I wonder if due to the professionalizing of ministry - many 'students' just don't have opportunities like that any more. I totally agree, there's nothing like learning and struggling and communicating to real people... Dave, thanks for tuning in... books. I can't say I've got too many favorites, I find many of them fairly dry and mechanical. there's a new one out called 'choosing to preach' that is fairly foundational with some breadth... and maybe 'preaching to a postmodern world'... these are more the one's i've disliked the least i guess. I'm fairly unconvinced that one can really learn to preach via reading about it... but there's definitely some value, somewhere in it all i'm sure. Brad, I know what you mean!

I did a little preaching course with about 7 saints last year and we used the Robinson classic and "Between Two Worlds" by John Stott. What are your faves? True dat on the love hate part. More on that later perhaps. Lon, what are the best preaching book’s you’ve read in your training/studies.
