Customer Reviews

John Broadus knows his stuff...

There are plenty of sermon preparation books out there, but this one is one that should be on the shelf of every pastor and deacon in the church. Also, Sunday School teachers would greatly benefit from this book in the preparation of exegetical teaching material. I recommend this book and think it will be beneficial to everyone who reads it.

A great reference source for ministers

I purchased thisOn the Preparation And Delivery of Sermons because it was required reading for a Sermon Preparation class; it was used as a textbook. My instructor says it has been referred to for many years. I believe that any begginning minister will find this very valuable. It covers all areas of sermons and preaching.

A classic

Scripturally sound, practically oriented, broad in scope, but specific in advice, this book is a masterpiece. Anyone with an interest in homiletics either has read this book or should.If you're a layman who teaches a Sunday School class, buy this book. Your presentation skills and organizational ability will skyrocket. Your students will get more from the lesson, you will present the material in a more professional manner and you will be easier to follow.This book is helpful for anyone with a call to use the spoken word to advance the Kingdom of God. Highly, highly recommended.

This is a must book for all young preachers!

This is one the best books ever written. It was the first book passed on to me as a young minister. I would suggest that all preachers read, and reread this book. This homiletic masterpiece is a must for all young preachers. This book was originally published under the title ' A Treatise on the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons'. This book is both informative and inspirational. It was no mistake when I opened these comment by saying that this is one of the best books ever written, (not limited to homiletics), one of the best books on any subject. ** Rev. Clay A. Jackson *
