What is “expository preaching?” In this brilliant new book, Dr. Stephen Olford and Dr. David Olford, both widely respected preachers in their own right define “expository preaching” (“exposing Scripture instead of imposing upon it”), teach its technique, and express its significance (“all true preaching is expository”).
This book equips and encourages preachers of all kinds to respect their calling and minister God’s inerrant Word by the Olford’s marvelous methods.
Stephen Olford
(1918 - 2004) was an internationally known minister, born in Zambia and serving churches in England and the United States. Often called Òthe preacherÕs preacher,Ó he influenced countless lives and pioneered the Encounter radio program and Olford Ministries International, both of which continue today.

A USEFUL TOOL FOR PREACHERS IN BOTH LIFE AND PULPIT,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anointed Expository Preaching (Hardcover)
It seems that many preachers enter their weekly duties withacademic credentials and a certificate of ordination, but littleknowledge of "how" to preach the Word. It is one thing to hear the charge of Scripture to "Preach the Word!" (2 T. 4:2)yet quite another to implement it in practice."Anointed Expository Preaching" points out that if we would be followers of Jesus, the Prince of preachers, then we must understand 1) the walk we are to pursue as men of God, 2) the work we are to perform in both preparation and sermon delivery, and 3) the breadth of the Word we are proclaiming. "Anointed Expository Preaching" offers every preacher a primer for his God-appointed task. The four appendices alone at the close of the book are worth the price of the book as the critical subjects of worship, music, evangelism and the message of Romans as a model for the preacher are addressed. "Whether a young man is just starting out in 'the work of ministry' or is seasoned with experience, he will find "Anointed Expository Preaching" a useful tool for both life and pulpit." -- Dr. Phil Newton South Woods Baptist Church Memphis TN

How to Become an Anointed Expository Preacher,
By
This review is from: Anointed Expository Preaching (Hardcover)
Renowned expository preacher Dr. Stephen Olford, and his son, Dr. David Olford, have collaborated on a book made up of lectures and lessons from the "Stephen Olford Center for Biblical Preaching." Its purpose is "to equip and encourage pastors and lay leaders in expository preaching and exemplary living, to the end that the church will be revived and the world will be reached with the saving Word of Christ." Throughout the book the authors are clearly committed to biblical revelation, biblical exposition, and biblical proclamation. "Anointed Expository Preaching" is divided into three sections. First, "The Walk to Pursue" concerns the preacher's life, emphasizing that God is more concerned with what we are than what we do. He investigates the preacher's relationship to God's Word, his need for the spirit-filled life, and the requirements of being a man of God. He also investigates the preacher's work in the context of the pastoral ministry. Second, "The Work to Perform" examines the method of preaching. Here you learn the "how to's" of expository preaching. I found this the most helpful and the strongest segment of the book. Clear instruction is given on the methodology of preparing an expository message from beginning to end. Third, "The Word to Proclaim" looks at the message that is to be proclaimed. Emphasis is placed on the preacher's need for God's anointing to carry out his calling. You will also learn how to apply the sermon to your audience, how to effectively present an invitation, and methods of conserving the evangelistic harvest. The greatest value of the book is as an encyclopedia of information detailing the process of expository sermon composition and delivery. The authors' passion for the subject is clearly sensed and the organization of the text makes it a quality resource manual. Portions of the book read much like a sermon. Perusal of this work provides a lesson on effective alliteration. It does have somewhat of an "old time" feel to it, as if you are reading something written in another generation. The 396-page book includes an appendix and extensive endnotes. "Anointed Expository Preaching" is a valuable resource for anyone desiring to improve his understanding of expository preaching and skill as an expository preacher.

The Bible's Way Of Preaching!,
This review is from: Anointed Expository Preaching (Hardcover)
This is a great book for anybody who has been called to the pulpit ministry! This book by Olford takes you to the Bible to learn how to preach. This great work has taught me the importance of not only the messages the preacher preaches, but also the life the preacher lives. This book teaches the reader about both!
