Overview

All of the Bible is teachable. However some sections of The Word are easier to preach than others. Bob Fyall's Why Are We So Often Boring? sets forth a clear discussion around the issues around expositional preaching to pastors, church leaders and students. With social, economic, political and health concerns inherent in many congregations, writing a sermon can be an exercise in balancing a tough equation; how to rely on the truth and relate it to people's lives. The purpose of this book is to enthuse, encourage and stimulate those who teach the Bible. Fyall encourages teachers to rely less on behavioural and attitude centred questions, and more on God's omnipotent work in the congregation's hearts.

Drawing on decades of experience in preaching the Bible, Bob Fyall's compact yet rich answer to the title question deserves to be read and pondered by everyone who preaches. I particularly appreciated the blended emphases on the practical, pastoral theology, which should animate the preacher, along with the need to be totally dependent on the work of the Holy Spirit to regain the supernatural in our preaching. Realistic and down to earth, this book is full of Biblical insights and unswerving confidence in the whole sweep of Scripture. It contains many memorable nuggets of exposition, information and practical hints to set the beginner on the right road, to stimulate the weary and jaded and to stir up every preacher to work hard in order to do the task better. Here is a sure guide to eradicate boredom from the pulpit. -- David Jackman (Past President, The Proclamation Trust, London)
