First-Person Preaching introduces the reader to the delightful art of preaching as if one were a biblical or historical character addressing a contemporary audience. With a fresh, accessible style, Buttry explores the power of story and drama and offers techniques for weaving dramatic narrative into sermons so that familiar and not-so-familiar characters come to life in the preached word. The first part of the book provides the vision and practical direction for first-person preaching. The second part is a collection of ten first-person sermons. Each sermon is followed by preacher-to-preacher notes on interpretive, homiletical, and dramatic issues related to the writing and preaching of the particular message.
