A Layman's Perspective

Let me put a plug in from a layman's point of view: Great book!Ok, now why would a layman even be interested in this book? Simple, with all the experiental preaching going on these days my search for: "what makes a good preacher?" and "how do you know what good preaching is?" has led me to this book.I have known about expository preaching (and have been priveledged to have listened to preachers who actually preach consistantly from the Word) of course, but wanted to learn more. The Olford's book does a fabulous job. First and foremost they define the role of a preacher (the Call of God, The Word, living the life of a Godly man; being a man of God, and doing the work of God). Secondly they go into the preparation of the sermon (I have listened to many preachers that sound as if they prepared their sermon the night before, and I have had some even confess to me that that was precisely what they had done!). Lastly they explain delivery of the sermon (proclamation of the Word AND Salvation).This book describes that preaching the Word should be an exciting experience (in the preparation, delivery and expectation of change in individuals by the Lord)! I especially like the author's emphasis on fearless preaching (i.e. speaking on how today's happenings compare to the Word). Definitely no P.C. preaching here!It now holds a prominent spot on my bookshelf! Definitely worth the purchase price.

The Bible's Way Of Preaching!

This is a great book for anybody who has been called to the pulpit ministry! This book by Olford takes you to the Bible to learn how to preach. This great work has taught me the importance of not only the messages the preacher preaches, but also the life the preacher lives. This book teaches the reader about both!

A USEFUL TOOL FOR PREACHERS IN BOTH LIFE AND PULPIT

It seems that many preachers enter their weekly duties withacademic credentials and a certificate of ordination, but littleknowledge of "how" to preach the Word. It is one thing to hear the charge of Scripture to "Preach the Word!" (2 T. 4:2)yet quite another to implement it in practice."Anointed Expository Preaching" points out that if we would be followers of Jesus, the Prince of preachers, then we must understand 1) the walk we are to pursue as men of God, 2) the work we are to perform in both preparation and sermon delivery, and 3) the breadth of the Word we are proclaiming. "Anointed Expository Preaching" offers every preacher a primer for his God-appointed task.The four appendices alone at the close of the book are worth the price of the book as the critical subjects of worship, music, evangelism and the message of Romans as a model for the preacher are addressed."Whether a young man is just starting out in 'the work of ministry' or is seasoned with experience, he will find "Anointed Expository Preaching" a useful tool for both life and pulpit." -- Dr. Phil Newton South Woods Baptist Church Memphis TN
