Giving Blood

A Fresh Paradigm for Preaching

De: Leonard Sweet

Narrado por: Sam Rushton

A Groundbreaking Resource for Preaching

If the church wishes to converse effectively with a culture, it must learn the culture’s language. Today, shifts in technology mean that language is increasingly one of symbols and metaphors, stories and images—not words.

So what does this mean for the sermon, that long-standing, word-based tradition of Christianity?

In this ground-breaking resource, bestselling author Leonard Sweet offers an alternative to traditional models of preaching, one that is fitting to a new culture and a new mode of thinking. The first book of its kind to move preaching beyond its pulpit-centric fixation and toward more interactive, participatory modes of communication, Sweet presents both a challenge and a path forward for a church struggling to maintain its relevance in a post-modern, media-saturated culture.

Accompanying images and interactive content is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Preaching the Blood

This might be the best and most practical book for those who wish to preach, teach, and share the Word of God. It you have longed to share the Christ of Scriptures this book takes you step by step through that process in the discipline of Semiotics. It shows the listener how to take the profound truths of Scripture and make them relevant for our increasingly secular world. This may be Len Sweet’s best book and that says a lot. The world stands ready for an army of “practical” preachers who can show where Christ is hidden in the Scriptures. An army of the ordinary who are willing to share the story of our extraordinary Lord. Dr. Sweet will take you into the homiletics laboratory and teach you the art of narraphor! This audible book is a “must” for all disciples of Christ.
