Excerpt from History of the North Russell Street, M. E. Church and Sabbath School: With a Brief Account of St. John's Church at the Odeon Pursuant to a vote of our teachers, in June last, we instituted measures to prepare and publish a history of the North Russell Street Sabbath School. We had the good fortune to secure the services of one to act as our historian, who has had an extensive knowledge of the school from its commencement, and whose qualifications for the work need no commendation from us. It was not our original design to refer to the church, beyond what was necessary to the history of the school; but considerations which we need not enumerate here, have led to the production of...
'The Book of St John is too witty to be a manifesto, but it is a sturdy invocation of the need for comfort, generosity and ritual at the table. And it is a gurglingly delightful compendium of - quite simply - delicious ideas and stories' Nigella Lawson 'An unutterable joy from the team behind one of the most influential and important restaurants in Britain ... This is much more than a book of recipes, though (glorious as they are). It’s also about the importance of the table, of feasting, of friendship, of the white cloth napkin on your knee.

Many clergy receive little training in the arts of preaching and it is assumed that they will learn by gaining experience. The renowned American preacher Herbert O’Driscoll suggests that congregations do not want to be given a map showing them how to get to the coast, they want to be drenched in the spray. Narrative preaching is a means of achieving such immediacy. By dramatic story-telling, it invites listeners into enter the text imaginatively and enables them to experience sermons as transformative events. This book aims to provide not just a theoretical introduction, but a resource that uses sermons in the narrative style to reflect on how to prepare and construct them and how to deliver them effectively in the context of worship.
