Surviving a Dangerous Sermon

<p>Preachers increasingly see the need to deliver sermons that are "dangerous" in a variety of ways: the way they challenge hearers' comfort levels and challenge established powers and hierarchies. Author Frank Thomas helps readers understand those dangers--especially the forces of power and hierarchy that are so intrinsic in our everyday lives and in society as a whole. He teaches how to anticipate and navigate those forces to open opportunities for dangerous preaching and to mitigate negative impact on congregants the preacher and the preacher-congregation relationships.</p><p><em>Surviving a Dangerous Sermon </em>is a logical follow-up to Thomas's previous book <em>How to Preach a Dangerous Sermon</em>. It equips preachers to say what must be said in a way that it is heard so that the sermon has a chance to do its work on human hearts without negative consequences.</p>
