The Heart of Preaching

Church Leadership & Ministry

“What kind of book on preaching does an aspiring (or a mature) pastor need? Above all, he needs a book that grounds the task of preaching, the goal of preaching, and the hope of preaching, as well as the life of the preacher and the methodology for preaching, in a marveling grasp and a deeply insightful functional application of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ideally, such a book would provide discernment for the preaching task, guidance for the preaching process, and encouragement for the preaching life—and it would be written by a man whose integrity of life has modeled the truths contained therein for decades. That’s the book that is before you, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

The Whole Christ

Theology

“It’s hard to imagine a more important book written by a more dependable guide. From a seemingly obscure theological controversy, Sinclair Ferguson brings to light issues of fundamental and perennial significance for twenty-first century evangelicals. With deep learning, theological discernment, and pastoral wisdom, he not only exposes distortions of the gospel but also helps us savor the substance of the gospel, which is Christ himself.”
