by Karen Schlack (Author), Alton B. Pollard (Foreword by)
Our journey began the first day I preached a sermon in front of people. Morgan told me after that sermon, "You must free yourself from the manuscript." I couldn't imagine doing that, and asked Morgan for help. Our journey continued for fifteen years. I shared my sermons (written and video) with Morgan and we engaged in conversations about preaching, congregations, struggles, God, and life. Join us and watch as I learn to preach, Morgan shares a lifetime of wisdom with me, and we both receive the blessing of friendship and sharing ministry. For anyone who presumes to preach, and those who listen to their sermons, this book peeks behind the screen to the place where sermons are made.
