Would highly recommend for any preacher. The classically trained Brooks, author of O Little Town of Bethlehem, speaks with the wisdom and power of another age, and with theological insight into the man preaching, the truth proclaimed, and the congregation receiving.

An excellent read. I gleaned a lot from Brooks and will return to him again. Amazing how lectures from 1877 are still relevant for today.

Wish I could absorb this book in its entirety. Phillips Brooks is a hero of mine, and his insights on men and preaching are better than anyone else's I've ever come across. If you're into speaking and preaching, the amount of instruction, encouragement, rebuking, and direction found in the pages of his lectures will last a year's worth of contemplation. My two favorite points: Preaching is God's truth through personality... (or, truth plus personality). Sermons aren't art, but communication meant to save souls.

Will be reading this and re-reading this book the rest of my life. I have an old edition to wear in even more!

As previously noted, I found much of this book surprisingly fresh. As I read it, particularly the first five chapters, I often found myself thinking, "Yes, his observation is still spot on." It wasn't until chapters 6 and 7 (of 8) that I felt there were more changes in the times over 140 years than Rev. Brooks could have known. Even then, however, there was much to be gained from his insight. The last chapter was weakened by a typical Victorian prolixity of style but, again, this is a fairly minor issue.

I would recommend this book whole-heartedly for any preacher, especially one just starting out.
