In an update to her foundational work, Good News Preaching, Brooks frames the essential methodology of good preaching: the importance of real, transformative good news. This second edition of Good News Preaching accounts for changes in the landscape of church and culture?including a global pandemic and shrinking congregations?and argues that the good news of God's grace and liberation is ever more essential for Christian discipleship.
