I got a book in the mail the other day from Dave Stone, one of the teaching pastors at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky. I met Dave briefly at Buzz. To be perfectly candid, I was super impressed that a preacher like Dave from a church like Southeast Christian Church would even come to Buzz They are one of the largest churches in the country doing some amazing things for the kingdom!

On my plane ride home from Illinois I read his book, Refining Your Style. It is one of the best books on preaching I’ve read. The book describes about a dozen different styles of preaching–everything from creative storyteller to engaging humorist to practical applicator to unorthodox artist.

What is cool is that the book does an interview with preachers who fit in the different categories And it comes with a CD of samples. The preachers include Max Lucado, Erwin McManus, Rob Bell, and Gene Appel.
