Good read for all Pastors

Preaching Sticky Sermons was an easy to read resource guide for me as a pastor. I read it on the heels of reading Sticky Church and it was a great companion book! After reading it provided great insight for structuring my week as a pastor with weekly sermon prep. Pick up this book and you will not be disappointed!!

Good For New Preachers

The good: this book offers basics that newer preachers could certainly gain from. It is easy to read and has a ton of ideas. As someone who has been preaching for more than 25 years I found refreshment. The bad: a mild criticism... the authors should hire an editor to eliminate repetition and the use of some generic phrasing that needed some further reflection. I wouldn't let that keep you from buying...hopefully there will be a revised edition at some point.

Some very helpful and practical tips and ideas for any type of preacher - topical, expositional, traditional, charismatic, etc...

And I appreciate how this book ties in so well with all the resources available on the website: rookiepreacher.com to provide ongoing help.

This may not be the best book out there on preaching, but I don’t think it intends to be. I think it’s simply time-tested wisdom from two guys that desire to help all preachers do better and be more intentional at what they do.

Great Foundation and Refresher

I loved this book. It under promises and over delivers. It's filled with great tips and reminders for new preachers and experienced ones, too. I think the emphasis on finding the tension in the text and creating tension in the sermon is excellent. On top of that, there is a great explanation of how to use Evernote to improve your preparation!

A great tool for preaching

The book is filled with great ideas to help any pastor to grow in the area of preaching. The ideas for extending Sunday are worth the price of the book.

As I am in the process of speaking to a men's group this fall at our church, I purchased this book to help me understand how to piece together the parts of a sermon for delivery. The book was a quick read and straightforward with the pastors' advice to the reader on how they prepare a sermon. The chapters are brief and to the point. I would have liked examples of their sermon example(s) included in an appendix along with their sermon notes for a given sermon, just to see how the preparation is pursued. I did highlight key parts of the book to put to practice. A good book for beginning preachers or lay ministers to bring the Word to God's people.

Good review and a few new nuggets of help

Mostly review. A few new insights I will try to implement. And a few things that are not useful for my context but may be helpful for others.
