( ) Lewis Allen gets preachers. He understands the insecurities, challenges, and frailties of the preacher's heart. As a pastor himself, he has experienced the highs and lows of ministry. From that intimate knowledge, he speaks directly to the soul of the preacher in The Preacher's Catechism. He uses a standard catechism formula as he asks and answers questions unique to preaching and pastoral ministry. Relying strongly upon the Westminster Shorter Catechism, Allen offers up forty-three chapters that call for serious reflection. I found myself alternating between deep conviction over failures and uplifting encouragement about possibilities. This work came at the perfect time on my journey as a minister of the Word of God. It has caused me to reflect deeply on the seemingly mundane process of preparing sermons, praying for the flock, and pastoring people. Each chapter/question is mercifully short - I say merciful because the author aims for the heart in his analysis of the preacher. He asks questions that must be asked for healthy, sustained ministry; but like most necessary questions, there is a natural rawness that comes from delving beneath the surface when it comes to the heart. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering or engaged in regular preaching ministry. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
