Summary: "Echoing Popes Benedict and Francis, Fr. Joshua Whitfield confronts what is perhaps the most common complaint of Catholics around the world: hollow, vacuous preaching. Marked by poorly prepared, often stale, and largely irrelevant homilies, this crisis is fueling the mass exodus of people from the Church. A parish priest in Dallas, Whitfield bids his fellow preachers to profound renewal, reminding them that preaching is not just something they do, it is essential to who they are. More than just another how-to book, The Crisis of Bad Preaching is an audacious response to an existential crisis. It is at once deeply challenging and deeply uplifting and chockfull of practical advice for a wholesale reversal of the status quo"--
