Yet just what presence is, often escapes us. Its absence though is all too obviously dire. The Present Preacher shows us how to be present in every sermon we preach, so that genuine presence corroborates our witness to God's word.' CHRISTOPHER BURKETT, EDITOR, THE PREACHER</p><p><br></p><p>As we create a future where preachers will spend as much time staring back at themselves on a screen as looking out from a pulpit this is a timely and settling book. I hope it will become a foundational and essential resource to help navigate the tricky issues of being a genuine preacher.' ESTHER ELLIOTT, WORKPLACE AND COMMUNITY CHAPLAIN, EDINBURGH</p><br>
