One of the most influential books I have read lately is
Communicating for a Change: Seven Keys to Irresistible Communication, by Andy Stanley. It is an easy read, but gives some profound insight into preaching for a goal, and that goal is life change.
I found it a very refreshing tune-up for my preaching skills.
I read this book for a class at the Grad School (Communicating the Word) taught by Dave DeSelm. The class was also very refreshing and a great tune-up for preaching, or for anyone who regularly communicates.

I would highly recommend this class to anyone, especially if it has been a long time since you took an actual seminary based class.
