Seasoned and non-seasoned preachers both benefit from it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making Good Preaching Better: A Step-By-Step Guide to Scripture-Based, People-Centered Preaching (Paperback)
Not another homiletic book. The author offers step-by-step help. Written from a Sunday-after-Sunday preacher, rather than a seminary-professor perspective. Easy to read and with plenty of exercises for self-help and improvement.
4.0 out of 5 stars
