Go Preach!: A Primer for Beginning Preachers is a basic handbook for those who are called to preach on occasion but who may not be formally trained as preachers. Those people may be lay speakers, local pastors, or student pastors who are taking on for the first time the responsibilities of delivering the sermon as a part of the service of worship. Others who will find this book useful include those people who for a variety of reasons are called on to preach in their pastor's absence. Go Preach! may also be read by ordained preachers, both those who have recently graduated from seminary and are serving their first appointment and those who have a great deal of preaching experience but who want a refresher to help them continue speaking the good news of Jesus Christ in ways that are engaging and relevant to today's listeners. Go Preach! is written simply and directly, with an emphasis on practical tips and with just enough theory to support the practice. In the back of this book is a list of suggested resources for the beginning preacher's library. Also included is a bibliography that makes specific suggestions about what to read next to explore preaching in more depth. Book jacket.
Go Preach!
Go Preach! connects the apocalyptic message of Mark's Gospel to principles and programs of socio-cultural transformation in the life of the Black church today. Brian Blount begins his study of Mark by examining the social significance of Jesus' proclamation of the coming Kingdom of God. This was a future event that was at the same time breaking through in the present. Through Jesus, "God's future power invaded and transformed the human present." This experience of the Kingdom empowered the disciples to "Go preach" the Kingdom message in word and deed, to finish the story that Marks narration about Jesus began. Blount goes on to show that the Black church occupies a situation analogous to that in which the Gospel arose, and explores the implications of apocalyptic theology for the pastoral mission of the Black church today. Go Preach! makes an important contribution to understanding the meaning of the Kingdom of God. At the same time it also demonstrates the value of a sociolinguistic approach to scripture, both in interpreting the text in its original context and in unpacking its meaning for today. It is required reading for biblical scholars, students, and clergy.

Jesus has called all His followers to participate in two great assignments: to preach the Gospel (evangelism) and to teach the nations (discipleship and maturity). In this book, the author points out that Christians often emphasize one or the other, but Christ wants us to be about the business of both. Practical instruction is given on how to be a better witness for Jesus, and an onward vision to maturity is humbly presented. A need for evangelism and the truths of eternal judgment are presented with great balance, clarity, and empathy. “If you have a love for God and a love for people, this book will help to equip you to serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this generation. You will be challenged, strengthened, and blessed as you read it.” (Rev. John Heyer from the Foreword).
