In our rapidly changing world, Christian preaching is as important as ever, but makes even greater demands of the preacher than in the past. It is being challenged by new forms of worship and communication at a time when it is becoming more difficult for preachers to address the complex issues of modern life in relation to Christianity. This book is designed to help preachers to sustain themselves and each other in their work and to realize their full potential by helping them to re-affirm the importance of preaching by rehearsing its biblical and theological basis and to understand the cycles, dynamics and rhythms of their vocation and to engage with them constructively. It offers clear guidelines on how to construct a sermon and use contemporary professional support services throughout their preaching ministry and to develop their own support networks. So the book emphasizes what preachers themselves, personally and through supportive networks, can do to sustain and develop their preaching ministries.

<p>Exposes the colonial roots of problems at the heart of Guatemala's ongoing political crises George Lovell's classic work, based primarily on unpublished archival sources, examines the impact of Spanish rule on the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, an isolated region of Guatemala running along the country's north-western border with Mexico. Although Spanish imperialism left its mark, Lovell reveals that the vibrant Maya culture found in the Cuchumatan highlands was not obliterated and, although under considerable stress, endures to this day.</p>

Much is written about analyzing church and community work, little about designing. This book is about both. It describes sequences that cover every aspect from having initial ideas to evaluating the outcome. These sequences enhance the quality and value of work with people whilst giving practitioners greater job satisfaction. The book is a handbook for clergy and laity who want to examine their own work, for trainers who lead work study courses and for work consultants. It contains four worked examples of analysis and design, and detailed commentaries on the methodology and the underlying theory and theology. It also discusses difficulties of practising the approach, and describes eight major contributions it makes to Church and society.

Today Guatemala is still one of the world's most flagrant violators of human rights. The tragedy of Guatemala continues to unfold as negotiations to end thirty years of civil war drag on.
