Kregel Title Selected for Inaugural TGC Book Awards
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GRAND RAPIDS, MI--Sensitive Preaching to the Sexually Hurting by Sam Serio was named ministry book of the year at the The Gospel Coalition's 2016 Book Awards.
Collin Hansen and Ivan Mesa of The Gospel Coalition said: "None of the judges was familiar with this book until the publisher submitted it, but we agreed that the timing of its release could not be better. Serios work provides a biblical manual for how to preach Gods truth without compromise, yet with a shepherds heart. . . . The tone of Serios work is gracious, and the wisdom contained therein is lashed snugly to the Scriptures. Every pastor needs to add this underrated book to his library."
Sensitive Preaching to the Sexually Hurting is a ready-to-use resource written from a preaching perspective. Serio examines the causes and consequences of the seven most difficult sexual issues facing the church today. Moreover, he provides appropriate wording to use in crafting sermons, along with corresponding Scripture texts. He equips preachers to prepare their churches, their hearts, and their sermons for the topic, demonstrating how these can all work together to build a healthier future for their congregations and the wider church body.
Sam Serio, DMin, writes with more than thirty-five years of experience in preaching and counseling. He has pastored churches, conducted seminars, and currently counsels individuals who daily feel the deep emotional effects of sexual sin or pain.
The Gospel Coalition initiated the TGC Book Awards to highlight books that offer gospel-centered argument and application, include faithful use of Scripture, foster spiritual discernment, and encourage efforts to unite and renew the church. TGCs council members and key contributors and editors each identified one winner and one runner-up in nine categories. The full list can be found online at http://bit.ly/2htpbcJ.
