Extract from the Preface
This is a book for preachers. But not only for preachers. Anybody who has anything to do with preaching should read this book - those who teach about preaching, those who listen to preachers, those who think about preaching, those who critcize preachers and those who have to live with preachers.
Dr Barry Newman, Head of the School of Teacher Education at the University of New South Wales (Retired).
Extract from the Foreword
“Donald Howard and many of his fellow writers are people whose whole ministry has been built on faithful, fearless, fervent preaching. It has been tried and put to the proof in the pulpit and parish. They know that the preacher’s art is a life-long study and they write out of their own understanding and experience. One may hope that this book will greatly encourage those who are on the threshold of a life-long ministry and that the pure preaching of God’s Holy Word will grow and flourish on an even wider and more fruitful scale.”
Sir Marcus Loane, first Australian-born Archbishop of Sydney.
Book Launch
The book was launched in Sydney on Saturday 1 November 2008, by Archbishop Sir Marcus Loane.
