“A must-read for twenty-first-century Christian leaders. Get this book and read it with your church staff today!” —MICHELLE AMI REYES, vice president, Asian American Christian Collaborative; author of Becoming All Things “Kim and Hoffman exhort faithful homileticians to listen to various social perspectives as a means of informing authentic Christian preaching. For the sake of the healing of divided nations everywhere, may all preachers eagerly hear this exhortation with ears of grace.” —ERIC C. REDMOND, Moody Bible Institute “In such a polarizing and fractious time, Christian preachers need resources that bridge divides and remind us that God makes a way out of no way. Thankfully, this timely book gives us both.” —JARED E. ALCÁNTARA, Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University “A wonderful field guide. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.”— SCOTT SAULS, senior pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church; author of A Gentle Answer and Beautiful People Don’t Just Happen “A useful framework to confront the division in our time with preaching grounded in the Bible’s story line and founded on the redemptive work of Christ.” —ED STETZER, Wheaton College “If you want a framework for preaching that leads to reconciliation instead of division, this one’s for you!” —TARA BETH LEACH, author of Emboldened and Radiant Church “A stunning, scholarly, current, and critical guide for preachers to take seriously the complexity of preaching in a rapidly changing world.” —GLENN PACKIAM, lead pastor, New Life Downtown; author of The Resilient Pastor “Kim and Hoffman’s approach to preaching is practical and attainable.” —SCOTT RIDOUT, president, Converge
