God is in the House


John Woods, God is in the House: A Fresh Model for Shaping a Sermon (Carlisle: Langham Preaching Resources, 2022).


I was asked to provide an endorsement for the above book, and did a long and a short version for the publishers – both are pasted below. In the interests of full disclosure, John is a personal friend, but the commendation is from the heart.


Longer version


Do yourself a favour and read this. Doing so will place you in the presence of a seasoned preacher and a skilled teacher of preachers. Through the familiar but evocative image of a house, John covers all the facets of the preaching task, from preparation to delivery, with helpful suggestions, gentle challenges, and fresh insights from Scripture along the way. Read it yourself. Read it with other preachers. Reflect together on its significance for your practice of preaching, for the good of your congregations and the greater glory of God.
