This is a great book for preachers, providing a homiletics refresher as veteran bible scholar and preacher Kaiser walks through the study and preaching of 10 Old Testament texts. Beyond simply giving help for these 10 passages, Kaiser models the preaching of the OT with a concentration on the character of God. He is particularly concerned with the need for us to be teaching our people about the greatness of God.

This book is a collection of ten messages from the OT related to God's majesty. But more than that, it is a series of helps on how to study and preach these passages. Kaiser does a great job of exegeting the passages, bringing in historical data, and systematizing the information. The messages thoroughly honor God and, as such, make great devotional reading as well.

Kaiser's ability to make much of God while teaching others to do so is amazing. Not a text book, but a very helpful resource for those who want to make God the focus of their teaching and preaching instead of mankind. Warning: you read this book, it will change the way you teach.

This book helps understand the nature of our God as it provides the reader with a great survey of the attributes of our Mighty God. It is very important to know the nature of God to feel assured when we call on Him.
Thanks Kaiser. You have taught me a lot.
