The Heart of Preaching

Mike Bullmore’s The Heart of Preaching explores the functional centrality of the gospel in the life of a preacher, helping pastors shape their character, content, and mindset toward a gospel-centered life. 

Examining the Role of the Gospel in the Life of the Preacher

Preachers are gospel experts. They have dedicated countless hours to studying the good news during seminary courses and while preparing for sermons. They share its message with accuracy and confidence with the congregation every Sunday. It’s clear they have a strong biblical and theological understanding of the gospel, but what about a functional one?  

In The Heart of Preaching, author Mike Bullmore explores the functional centrality of the gospel to help pastors convey its power in a more tangible way. Bullmore draws on decades of pastoral experience to navigate common heart challenges, clarify nuanced definitions, and provide practical advice for sermon preparation, delivery, and planning. This book is a valuable resource for those who want to see the gospel animate not only their preaching but their pastoral ministry and the entirety of their Christian life.
