This new volume in the SCM Research series argues that both preaching and Action Research are inherently exposing practices. They require a deep level of self-consciousness, and a willingness to hold oneself up to critique and comment. But at their best they are both formed within a deep and supportive critical community. Applying a methodology rooted in Action Research as way of Doing Theology (ART), and drawn from the author's own research within a specific 'community of practice', "The Naked Preacher" demonstrates for preachers and ministers new ways to be critically and constructively self-aware. It also offers an important contribution for practical theologians with an interest in action research and critical reflection.

The Fornicating Preacher is a book about a preacher who struggled with fornication and adultery, the writer shares personal stories of weaknesses and ways to overcome them. This is an excellent book for anyone that is in a leadership position that is struggling in a particular area of their life. From the beginning God has given each of us instructions for our lives rather we choose to hearken to them or not, it doesn't change. There has been a battle going on from the beginning of time between God/Good and Satan/Evil from Heaven to Earth, with Satan's primary goal to distract God's children with deceit and anything contrary to what God has instructed.
