Praise for 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year
There is a famine of good preaching in the Church today (Amos 8:11-12). 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year is a unique opportunity to sit under the feet of Rev. Canon David Roseberry, who is the quintessential Anglican preacher. He is a man of integrity, character, and biblical faithfulness. I can’t think of any other person in our tradition I could recommend more for being a faithful preacher of the Gospel than David. May this book spark a revival of preaching in our day!
The Rev. Canon Dr. Winfield Bevins, Director of Creo Arts and author of Simply Anglican
David Roseberry’s 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year is a much-needed gift for any pastor interested in preaching through the major themes of the Church Year. Selecting 15 common themes or seasons (Advent, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Easter, etc.), David offers ten short sermon prompts for each. Each prompt is designed to spur further meditation for a sermon or sermon series. 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year distills wisdom learned from decades of faithful ministry and preaching in a way that welcomes every preacher into the beauty of preaching through the Church Year.
The Rev. Dr. Chris Stroup, President and CEO of Anglican House Publishers
I think I have known David Roseberry for nearly forty years. I watched from afar as he built a thriving and expanding local congregation from a small bible study group to one of the largest Anglican congregations in North America. David’s gifts as a teacher and preacher are well revealed in his new 10 Ways book, and for any preacher hard-pressed in the daily challenge of leading the flock of God well, it will be a godsend. If you are called to preach the Gospel in the context of the historical Christian Year, you can not find a better “fire starter” resource.
The Rev. Canon Dr. Jon C. Shuler, Servant General Emeritus of NAMS
David’s work is a gift for pastors like me who may arrive year after year at the major mileposts of the Church’s track looking for fresh material. The ten ways in each chapter do not contain so much new information but provide new perspectives on the Gospel story we know and love from the Scriptures.
The Rev. Geoffrey Little, Rector of All Nations Church, New Haven, Connecticut
David Roseberry offers a steady, experienced hand in the craft of preaching the Christian Year. I should know, because I’ve stolen his insights! May many who both teach and proclaim the story of the Bible take up and read. Here, they’re sure to find Christ-centered, God-glorifying, practical-yet-deep-minded insights for every season of the Church’s life together.
The Rev. Justin Clemente, Associate Rector of Holy Cross Cathedral, Loganville, Georgia
After a few years of preaching through the annual cycle of the Church’s feasts and fasts, I’ve found that my sermon preparation can benefit from a fresh perspective. David Roseberry’s helpful and thought-provoking book is just what I needed.
The Ven. Canon Isaac Rehberg, Archdeacon for Liturgy in the Anglican Diocese of All Nations and Rector of All Saints Anglican Church, San Antonio, Texas
Sometimes, preachers need a starting point to help crystallize and direct their thoughts. 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year offers precisely that: ten sermon-prep starting points for specific occasions throughout the liturgical calendar to guide and inspire Christ-centered proclamation. Written from the honest, experienced, down-to-earth voice of a seasoned preacher with a heart for the Gospel, this tool will prove an invaluable resource year after year.
Elizabeth Demmon, winner of the 2024 ACNA Theological Essay Contest
As a seasoned preacher, David Roseberry has taught on the art of preaching at church planting boot camps and preaching conferences over the years. 10 Ways to Preach the Church Year is an asset for preachers as they continue to hone their craft, as well as a blessing for the congregations who will hear their messages.
