Books I read reasontly

I have as most students been assigned some mandatory books to read this semester. I have read three books on preaching. Two book I read for another class taught that Christians can be demon possesed, and another with some weird views on what prayer is. Overall the preaching books were the best books I have read resontly. MacArthur's "Preaching" book is a book I would recomend. Secondly, I would recomend Calvin Miller's book on "Preaching" for a look at how to preach from narative passages. He is not concerned in that book with the Pauline epistles or other New Testament epistles that lend them selves to propositional preaching but with the parts of the Bible that are narative. If you are wanting to preach these two books would be a good combination for starting to understand homiletics.
