Jonathan Griffiths wrote a new book in the New Studies in Biblical Theology series edited by D. A. Carson titled, Preaching in the New Testament: An Exegetical and Biblical-Theological Study.  The book was published by InterVarsity Press in 2017.  I have posted a review of this book on my website and it can be found under the Book Reviews page.  This book (1) defines biblical preaching; (2) gives a thorough word study of the verbs in the Greek New Testament translated by the English word, “preach or preaching”; (3) establishes that preaching is distinct from other forms of word ministry and (4)  argues against the complementarian view –though this is not done as demonstrably as I would have liked Griffiths to have accomplished.  Every year preachers should read a book that pertains to their craft.  This book would be beneficial to furthering one’s own understanding of the value of preaching.  Preaching is irreplaceable and indispensable to the growth of the kingdom of God.
