This book is the result of years and years of practice. It has been forged in the pulpit. Its content is not the product of classroom lessons, but rather of preaching Saturday after Saturday for the past 26 years. It is also the fruit of readings, conversations, and discussions the author has had with theology students, pastors, and laypeople. It is more practical than theoretical. Therefore, its aim is to be a useful resource for both those beginning their journey into preaching and the more experienced.
