Customer Reviews

Three strengths make this book a valuable resource.
When it comes to books on preaching, it's pretty much all been said before. If you're looking for something new and novel, this is not the book for you. But, if you want a book that will strengthen your preaching in three areas, this book is a valuable resource. First, this book will help you build a bridge from the world of the Bible to today's world by giving you a helpful tool known as the "Fallen Condition Focus" (FCF) of the text. Second, this book contains an excellent chapter offering great insights on illustrating the sermon. Third, this book has probably the best treatment of application in preaching I've ever read. As long as contemporizing the biblical text, helping people see abstract truth in a way that is concrete, pictoral, sensible, and expreiential and driving home the practical significance of the Bible remain significant priorities for you as a preacher, this book will stand the test of time as a significant resource.

An excellent book for preparing a sermon
The book shows well how to prepare a sermon from preparing to delivering. It also tells why and how a sermon should be Christ-centered. Very excellent book.

A great find!!
I have come to appreciate the biblical, grace centred ministry of Byran Chapell- This work is a must have for all those serious about preaching into peoples lifes, serious about turning the world upside down for Christ and saving souls. Some say its much of the same reformed stuff of old, maybe but its still excellent stuff, buy it and see for yourself I will be surprised if you are disappointed.
