Overview

After one's community has experienced an earthquake, a wildfire, a tsunami, a hurricane, a tornado outbreak, or any other natural environmental disaster, there are differences and challenges to preaching that were not present the Sunday before. This book orients preachers to those differences and challenges. It contains accessible research from natural disaster experts to give an understanding of how individuals and communities are impacted by a natural disaster. Basic biblical building blocks are provided for developing one's own scriptural view of the event and all that follows a disaster. It is filled with coaching from pastors that have already preached in the aftermath of a natural environmental disaster, making this a very practical resource.
