Book Description

October 25, 1999 Today's Issues

Much of what emanates from modern pulpits would not be recognized by history's great preachers as being Bible-based and glorifying to God. Rather than the spiritual meat the Body of Christ needs--marked by doctrinal clarity, a sense of gravity, convincing argument, and a proper focus on Christ--entire churches are being administered a sweet but substanceless snack by their pastors. Consequently, congregations leave the sanctuary malnourished and ill-prepared to stand firm when their faith is challenged.

Recognizing the need for a return to biblical preaching, Alistair Begg has written this compelling booklet. In it he not only defines biblical preaching but tells how to accomplish it, explains its distinctives, and demonstrates its importance in the life of a church. Every Christian--pastor or not--is responsible to study the Scriptures and to learn to handle the Word correctly. This booklet aids in discerning how well one's church is doing in this area and offers suggestions for ensuring that the entire Body of Christ is being not only fed, but spiritually nourished.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preaching For God's Glory by Alistair Begg, May 26, 2000
By 
This review is from: Preaching For God's Glory (Today's Issues) (Paperback)
Alistair Begg's comments on the importance of expository preaching are a must-read for those handling God's Word. As usual, his insights are invaluable. This book is a credit to its field and should be read and applied by pastors and laity. All Christians are called to the Great Commission, and this book is a practical way of presenting Jesus and Him crucified to a lost world. I thank God for faithful, uncompromising preachers and teachers, such as Alistair Begg.

This review is from: Preaching For God's Glory (Today's Issues) (Paperback)
Begg's 48-page, 6-chapter work is a breath of fresh air into the preaching world. Begg's argument for expository preaching and his chapter on "Practical Pointers" is exceptional - any preacher, whether they agree with expository preaching or not, should read this book. Anyone who does will come away with a greater realization of the magnitude and importance of preaching the Word of God to our world today.

5.0 out of 5 stars HUGE Little Booklet, March 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Preaching For God's Glory (Today's Issues) (Paperback)
At a whopping 48 half-size pages, this can hardly be considered a book. But despite its diminutive size, it is grand in its content.

I have spent more money on this small book than I have on some theological sets that rest on my shelf. Not that the booklet costs very much, but because I have to continually replace it. I no sooner get a new copy than I find an opportunity to give it away to another preacher.

There are many preaching books that are more technically astute than this one. There are many that are more homiletically or hermeneutically instructive. But none will give the preacher a better reminder, quicker, than this one. The best way I can describe this little book is that it is like hard candy to a diabetic. It won't give you everything you need, but it will do the trick to prevent a catastrophic crash.

I like to keep a copy in my office to periodically review. It reminds me of the necessity of expository preaching--even when it's difficult. It reminds me of the benefits of expository preaching--even when I don't see them. It reminds me of the steps to take to be an effective expository preacher--even when I don't want to take them. And finally, it reminds me that God is in control of it all--even when, right at the moment, I don't believe it.

I might as well go ahead and order another copy--I just thought of another preacher friend I'll give this one to.
