Praise

Maurice Nutt is a master preacher, and it shows. This gem of a book is not only timely but necessary for every preacher, student of preaching, and libraries at schools of theology.

Eddie De León, CMF, assistant professor of pastoral ministry and preaching, Catholic Theological Union

The Black Catholic preaching voice is part of America’s DNA. Maurice Nutt makes it plain—the Holy Spirit impels us to hear this story and to preach and evangelize from this deeply Catholic, proudly American source of Gospel and cultural authenticity. This book deserves our attention!

Gregory Heille, OP, professor of preaching and evangelization, Aquinas Institute of Theology

Maurice Nutt has created a preaching masterpiece for the Roman Catholic Church. In speaking specifically about the Black Preaching Style, he has provided the Church with a prophetic word to awaken people from the numbness of despair to the vitality of joy in hope.

For ordained and lay homilists alike, Father Maurice J. Nutt, has given the Roman Catholic Church and her Protestant siblings a pioneering must-read.  Here’s a work whose time has come, and we who preach God’s Word can now say, enthusiastically, Hallelujah and Amen!
