If You Preach It, They Will Come - Eduardo A. Samaniego

. .

Résumé :
The 1st part is a manual to help one organize one's thoughts so that the homily / sermon /lesson is moving and effective, that is, reaching the hearts of the listeners as they like to hear it delivered. He used the principles in the manual, while teaching Homiletics at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, CA. He has given Preaching Better workshops to priests and/or deacons in the Diocese of San Jose, Stockton, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and San Diego, as well as for the Food for the Poor organization. Parts 2, 3, and 4 form a collection of my best homilies from the time I was pastor of Christ the King (CTK) Parish in San Diego, California, and Most Holy Trinity (MHT). I spent 12 1/2 years at Christ the King, a bi-lingual, tri-cultural parish (Black, Hispanic, & Caucasian), and 10 years as pastor of Most Holy Trinity Church in San Jose, CA, a parish with 5 cultures (Vietnamese, Filipino, Hispanic, Samoan, and Caucasian) and 4 languages (Vietnamese, Tagalog, Spanish, and English) where 7200 attended Mass every weekend. This Book contains a collection of 186 homilies for the entire 3-year Church cycle (A, B, and C) in the Catholic Lectionary. The book also contains an exhaustive bibliography of preaching resources for further study and preparation....
