Choosing to Preach offers a careful, practical guide to shaping sermons for contemporary listeners. Rather than insisting on a single method, the author explains how different starting points and priorities shape the final form of a sermon.

The text presents five distinct structures—argument-driven, problem-solving, story-centered, image-focused, and integrative/lyrical—and links each approach to well-known preaching styles. Readers will find clear descriptions, comparisons, and examples to help decide which approach fits a particular text and audience.

Ideal for pastors, seminary students, and church leaders, the book also includes discussion questions and hands-on exercises to build a personal preaching toolkit and refine delivery and structure choices.
