Reviews

[Jason Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderfully concise handling of the topic. An excellent check-up for long-time preachers and a radical shake-up for those who preach sermons that aren't gospel-centred.

Parts one (goals of preaching) and four (priorities of preaching) were especially good.

If it's not the best book on preaching I've ever read, it's close.

[Stuart Turton · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a great book to be reminded of the basics and to do together with other young preachers. The layout functions more as a short textbook, with case studies and workshop tasks. It adds nothing new or interesting, with other books on the market having done the job better with a similar model. Unfortunately I counted over 20 basic editing mistakes in a book no longer than 150 pages. It felt like I was reading the first draft.

A worthwhile primer on preaching, especially for newbies like me.

Very helpful, humbling, practical without being over simplistic.
