This book encourages those who preach regularly but feel that their preaching has become stale. Richard Littledale takes a look at the craft of writing sermons and shows you how to reinvigorate your work.

Sample sermons are included and their strengths and weaknesses are analysed Guidance on learning the techniques Guidance on introducing these styles to congregations Richard Littledale explores the straightforward and rewarding techniques, the strengths and weaknesses of narrative preaching and helps you decide how and when it would help you to bring a new freshness to your preaching.

This came up as a suggestion when I bought other books on preaching for my essay, and I bought it mainly out of curiosity as the author is minister at a local church and I have met him. It is a nice, easy read, with a good overview of basics, and some interesting suggestions for livening up a sermon menu. I enjoyed it, it is very accessible and practical, but not a hugely detailed theological tome if that's what you're looking for.
