Disastrous Preaching

“You need to buy this book now. When a storm hits, you might not be able to get a copy, but you will still need to preach to and pastor your flock. Jeff’s work is based upon his experiencing a catastrophic flood, his research, and a sound biblical foundation. I highly recommend that all pastors have a copy. It is like having a first aid kit.”


—Calvin Pearson, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary





“In 2016, Jeff Stanfill traversed the challenging path of shepherding his flock through a devastating flood. In a labor of love, he interviewed his ministry colleagues and analyzed their responses. Disastrous Preaching bears testimony to God’s faithfulness and provides practical guidance for preachers faced with unexpected disasters.”


—Kristopher K. Barnett, SC, Clamp Divinity School, Anderson University





“Disastrous Preaching is a book borne from lived experience and practical wisdom. Jeff Stanfill combines a pastoral heart with research-based information. Natural disasters have existed in every generation, yet seldom written are guides on ministering through them. Disastrous Preaching is your full-orbed and holistic field guide to ministry through the effects of natural environmental disasters.”


—Eric Ayala, Pastor of Preaching and Teaching, Reformation Church





“Speaking from repeated hurricane and flood experiences, Jeff Stanfill’s Disastrous Preaching gives sage advice and guidelines for ministering in the aftermath of a disaster. Heartily recommended for pastors, chaplains, and divinity students!”


—Mark Bradford, Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, retired
