Proctor's years of proclaiming the Word of God, pastoring, and effective classroom instruction to pastors, teachers, and seminarians make this a must read for even the seasoned pastor.

Fantastic reference for preachers from one of the greats. Proctor explains the Hegelian method for sermon prep. I refer to it often am so glad to have it. I know that I will find inspiration to preach especially when the Revised Common Lectionary throws a curve ball. Get it!

An abundance of information

This not only is an instruction but a reference resource to be used again. Tailored to your own walk with Christ and your preaching experience.
