'Compelling, convicting, persuasive preaching, revealing God's mercy and redemption to dying souls, is seldom heard today. The noblest art ever granted to our fallen human race has almost disappeared.' Even where the free offer of the Gospel is treasured in principle, regular evangelistic preaching has become a rarity, contends the author. These pages tackle the inhibitions, theological and practical, and provide powerful encouragement for physicians of souls to preach the Gospel. A vital anatomy or order of conversion is supplied with advice for counselling seekers. The author shows how passages for evangelistic persuasion may be selected and prepared. He also challenges modern church growth techniques, showing the superiority of direct proclamation. These and other key topics make up a complete guide to soulwinning.
This book is absolute gold, having many chapters on different aspects of preaching that most books don't even touch upon. Modest in size, rich in content. A must read for every reformed pastor.
I love how this book teaches about the importance of the evangelistic sermon in weekly church meetings. Dr. Masters also shows how preachers should go about putting their evangelistic sermon together and how to preach it.
