Book excerpt: Do you need help in sermon preparation? How can you make the presentation of your message more effective? Too little of contemporary preaching is really an exposition of what the Word of God actually says. Sincere exhortation and a fund of good stories are no substitute for the convincing power and authority of the Word of God. In calling preachers back to the exposition of the Word, Denis Lane gives definite instruction in the practical details of preparing and preaching a sermon. This book will be valuable for full-time pastors as well as those studying for the ministry and those engaged in lay preaching.
