Christianity Today 2019 Book of the Year Award, The Church/Pastoral
Leadership We know of the preacher's roles as both teacher and
proclaimer, but Jeffrey Arthurs adds another assignment: the Lord's
remembrancer. The remembrancer stirs the memory of
Christ-followers, reminding them of the truths they once heard and
fanning the flames of faith. We live in an age of forgetfulness, so
when knowledge fades and conviction cools, the church needs to be
reminded of the great truths of the faith. When done well,
preaching as reminding is not empty, perfunctory repetition.
Rather, it is the work of soul-watchers. Preaching as Reminding
describes the dynamic role of the remembrancer, who prompts
thankfulness and repentance, raises hope, fosters humility and
wisdom, exhorts obedience, and encourages community. With decades
of preaching experience, Arthurs explains how to stir memory
through vivid language, story, delivery, and ceremony. He urges
preachers to take up this task with buoyancy and hope because the
Lord God has commissioned and equipped them to serve as the Lord's
remembrancers.
