Black Preaching: The Recovery of a Powerful Art
( Henry H. Mitchell has completely revised and integrated...)
Henry H. Mitchell has completely revised and integrated his popular books The Recovery of Preaching and Black Preaching for seminarians and pastors--both Black and White--who are seeking to add power and vision to their sermons. Mitchell persuasively demonstrates that Black culture and preaching style are vital for the empowerment of Black congregations and have much to offer the preaching method of all preachers. By focusing on the use of storytelling, imagination, and style of preaching rooted in African-American culture, Mitchell spotlights effective techniques for lively preaching.

Preaching for Black Self-Esteem
( "What's goin' down? I know you don't expect a seventy-f...)
"What's goin' down? I know you don't expect a seventy-five year old man to talk all that talk. . . " A strong and much needed book addressing black youth today, Preaching for Black Self-Esteem is geared to a generation of black men and women who can--suggests the authors--proudly face issues such as caste systems, one's own physical characteristics, feelings of ambivalence and inferiority, and even 'buppies'--economically upwardly mobile Blacks. A very powerful collection of sermons for a generation of Blacks coming of age after the Civil Rights era.
