Preaching with Variety reveals how pastors can preach creatively by borrowing the dynamics of six genres or forms found in the Bible. Each chapter includes practical ?Try this? suggestions and ends with a quick checklist for preachers to consider when preaching from each of the six genres. Readers will learn how to expand their repertoire of creative, interesting, and relevant sermons.

from Psalms, the unit is usually obvious, an entire poem, but how should we preach units embedded within long stories such as Genesis or Mark? The answer is to identify and preach an entire plot: a clear conflict, rising action, and climax. Thus, a tidy story like Mary and Martha, only five verses long (Luke 10:38–42) forms a thought unit. Other clues to look for are changes in place (e.g., Gen. 18:33), persons (Gen. 19:1), or time (Gen. 22:1). These signal a transition from one scene to another.
