We just completed our series through the book of Judges.  Although biased, I enjoyed both retelling the accounts and framing each account within the overarching narrative of the Bible (read: Biblical Theology).

Here are few helpful resources:

Generally:

• The Art of Preaching Old Testament Narrative by Steve Mathewson
• Preaching the Old Testament by Scott Gibson [note: while I haven't read this (yet), it looks to be excellent!]
• John Woodhouse's recent lectures on reading and preaching OT narrative

Specifically:

• The NIV Application Commentary on Judges and Ruth by K. Lawson Younger - Dr. Younger was the reason I ever thought of preaching through Judges.  His brief teaching on it during class (greatly expanded in his commentary) opened my eyes to the compelling nature of the book.
• The New American Commentary: Judges, Ruth by Daniel Block
• Steve Mathewson's interview on Preaching Today about how he preached the Gospel in Judges.  [part I; part II]
• Southern Seminary's Spring 2008 magazine has an article on preaching Christ from Judges.
