A completely new re-launch and redesign of an historic classic! With a new editor, revised content based on market research, and a searchable CD-Rom, this non-denominational and comprehensive resource is even more relevant, attractive and user-friendly for 2008.

A preaching manual is an essential tool for the busy minister, whose plate is full to overflowing with every aspect of his or her congregation. New editor Lee McGlone has served as a pastor for thirty-six years and understands the time constraints and needs of his profession. McGlone is also a respected expert in homiletics (the art of preaching) and a long-term contributor and indexer to The Minister's Manual, giving him the knowledge and breadth of experience necessary to take the helm of this new and improved preaching annual. His dedication to the 2008 re-launch and to future editions for many years to come has shown itself in the care of his writing, editing, market research and cultivation of contributors.

The Minister's Manual is a nondenominational guide based on the lectionary, with complete sermons, special topics and supporting materials for 52 Sundays. It also offers music suggestions, worship aids, feature articles, and messages on special topics such as bereavement, children, and holidays. This edition will include sermons by a wide variety of contributors from many denominations yet retains an orthodox Christian theological approach.
