    About this audiobook

    Is Biblical Preaching Doomed to Extinction? In the Old Testament, God decried the fact that His people were perishing for lack of knowledge about Him. The same seems to be occurring today. There is sharing, suggesting, plenty of storytelling, and lots of preaching to felt needs in modern pulpits. But the authoritative, expositional opening of the Word of God is becoming scarcer all the time. Jesus told Peter, Feed my sheep (John 21:17). Such is the mission for all Christ's shepherds. But when preaching is neglected, those who have been called to feed the sheep do little more than pet them. In this book, eleven pastors and scholars issue a fervent plea for preachers to preach the Word. Here is encouragement for pastors to persevere in their calling and wisdom to guide congregations in holding their shepherds to the biblical standards.

    • 5/5
      Excellent book for pastors and laymen alike. Preaching is so much more than dissemination of information.
    • 5/5
      Soli Deo Gloria has assembled contributions from 11 separate heavyweight Reformed preachers (such as Al Mohler, James Boice, R. C. Sproul, John Piper, and John MacArthur) to create a truly unique and delightful book on preaching. It is unique in that the individual contributions create an interesting variety. It also enables one to pick the book up and read only one article in any one setting. Al Mohler begins with an essay on the “Primacy of Preaching.” He connects it to the very nature of the Gospel. He sums up well the position of the preacher in regard to his congregation: “We are assigned a stewardship from God which is bestowed on us not for our benefit, but for the benefit of the church. It is as if we have been drafted, called out, assigned, and granted a stewardship that we do not deserve, and a stewardship that we are not capable of achieving and fulfilling. Nonetheless, God choose those instruments” (14).The topics are as follows: the foolishness of preaching (Boice); expository preaching (Derek Thomas); experiential preaching (Joel Beeke); the teaching preacher (Sproul); preaching to the mind (John Armstrong); preaching to the heart (Sinclair Ferguson); preaching with authority (Don Kistler); evangelistic preaching (Eric Alexander); preaching to suffering people (Piper); and “A Reminder to Shepherds” (MacArthur). The final chapter (based on 2 Corinthians 5:5-7) makes a good “pride pill” for the preacher who receives too many accolades from his congregation: “We ministers are weak, common, plain, fragile, breakable, dishonorable, and disposable clay pots who should be taking the garbage out--but instead we’re bringing the glory of God to our people” (285). MacArthur ends, though, on a positive note: “The amazing thing is that such weakness does not prove fatal to the gospel, because the gospel is not out of us. The great reality is, this is essential to the gospel, because it makes crystal clear where the power really lies. We are unworthy servants, but God has given us the treasure of the gospel. What a privilege!” It is difficult to review the book as a whole, except to say that it is like a variegated flower, each petal of which is worth savoring. At the end of my copy I have written, “Great! Read it again!” And I already have read several chapters again.

      every once and a while I talk to someone who thinks we should do away with preaching and just talk. I need more copies of this book to hand out on such occasions.
