Preaching the Psalms
This book is designed to help preachers find and use the riches of the Psalms for preaching.
The authors address the perception that the Psalms often go neglected in preparing for one of the central acts of worship: preaching. McCann and Howell demonstrate that the Psalms offer the preacher broad, rich possibilities for the congregation’s engagement with the Scripture. Each chapter concludes with a brief sample.
