DeBona, a noted expert in homiletics, offers foundational principles and sound practical advice for preachers as they face the perennially challenging task of preaching at funerals and weddings. Avoiding both over-simplification and resignation in the face of many challenges, DeBona's points the way for preachers towards homilies that will speak to a contemporary culture that is hungry for welcome, compassion, and conversion.
