Black Preaching: The Recovery of a Powerful Art

by Henry H. Mitchell

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.

Fascinating book. As a white pastor and preacher who loves and tries to emulate the preaching of the black church I found this helpful and instructional as I seek to understand the forms and processes of black preaching. More than that, I loved how Mitchell included much of the history and first hand accounts of how black preaching has transformed over the years. Great resource.

Read for class! Loved the perspective this gave. And as a white pastor, this is super helpful to better understand how to communicate well to different cultural contexts.
