Challenging the belief that preaching is obsolete, this book presents a theological foundation for its relevance today. It emphasizes the importance of the preacher's character and the task of connecting listeners with truth rather than focusing on techniques.

The essence of John Stott's original work is preserved, while making it more relatable for modern audiences by removing outdated references.

A comprehensive, yet digestible, guide which focuses on the attitudes and skills those inexperienced in preaching need to develop without losing sight of the fact that it is what God does that is central to preaching. Scharf shows us how to prepare our minds, the congregation, the message, and the delivery of it.

Focusing on the importance of relationships, this guide aims to deepen preaching by enhancing connections with God, Scripture, and the audience. Its straightforward and relatable approach encourages preachers to immerse themselves in biblical texts while contemplating their significance. With a devotional and prayerful style, this book offers valuable insights for preachers worldwide, promoting a more impactful and meaningful preaching experience.
