""Preaching is a craft. How does one learn a craft? By looking over the shoulders of a skilled craftsman. There's no better way to learn to practice or to appreciate the craft of Christian preaching than to look over the shoulders of Donald E. Williams. Here is a fascinating collection of biblical sermons that demonstrate the art of proclamation, the inspired craft of bringing the truth of Jesus Christ to speech. What an artist of the word is Donald Williams and what a gift is this book."" --Will Willimon, Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School ""Dr. Williams brings together theological depth and remarkable clarity, offering sermons that make the gospel both accessible and transformative. His preaching invites us to encounter Christ, examine our lives, and let go of what hinders genuine spiritual growth. The Art of Proclamation models preaching that is biblically grounded, pastorally wise, and alive with the Spirit. These sermons will inspire preachers and nourish all who seek a deeper, more faithful walk with God."" --Lal Rodawla, Associate Pastor, Providence Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, North Carolina
