S.I.M.P.L.E. Preaching

ABOUT THE BOOK



Preaching is a calling from God to proclaim His glorious gospel to the world. 


Only God can call and make a preacher for His sake. Dr. Roc Collins, a veteran pastor, preacher, and evangelist, provides a toolbox of insights, preparation strategies, and compelling stories that will sharpen your skills and magnify the Message. S.I.M.P.L.E. Preaching details the process from your initial approach to the text, to the last verse of the invitation. This book provides six “S.I.M.P.L.E.” steps to practical preaching:

1. Start with prayer

2. Invest in the text

3. Maximize the message

4. Preach

5. Leave it all in the pulpit

6. Extend and invitation


Unlike many books on preaching that focus simply on hermanutics, Collins’ goal is practical: to help you lead people to Jesus and challenge believers to radically change into His likeness. 


“My prayer is that this book on preaching will help every preacher of the gospel who reads it.” —Roc Collins
