Obviously, the bulk of my reading relates to whatever sermon preparation I'm doing throughout the week. But I always have a stack of four or five books that I'm working through in a given month sitting on my office desk, and a couple more at home that I'm reading....

Favorite Books in 2025: Studies in Preaching Series

Favorite Books in 2025 By Jeremy Craft I always look forward to the end-of-year booklists that various websites and bloggers release around this time of the year.
