Preaching: The Art of Narrative Exposition by Calvin Miller is one I would highly recommend.

Oh interesting! I’m unfamiliar with Calvin Miller’s work. What makes this book a good one?

I appreciate the response! Miller addresses the question of “can a sermon be narrative storytelling and expository at the same time” and shows the reader how to blend the two to effectively communicate God’s word in a post modern world. His thought is since Jesus used storytelling to communicate his teaching, why not follow his example? I would recommend you take a look at the book and if you do, I’d love to know what you think.

You’re very welcome! I’ll be interested to know your thoughts on it. And I may re-read my copy. It’s been a few years.
