Endorsements
Unbelievably rich, Watson's messages still communicate today with a power and clarity that is simply breathtaking. Jack Hughes has done a tremendous job... This book will be a valuable tool for any preacher seeking to improve his skill in handling and communicating the Word of God.
John MacArthur Chancellor Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary and Pastor–Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California
Instructive, fresh and interesting.
Jay Adams Author & Retired Seminary Professor, Enoree, South Carolina
... written in a lively, readable manner and will be useful to those for whom it is intended. His enthusiasm for Thomas Watson, throughout the book, which includes a 27 page appreciation, should encourage others to read Watson's works. It would also be refreshing for those who have preached for many years.

Use a sanctified imagination to bring meaningful "pictures" out of the text and into your sermons, without sacrificing biblical content.
Warren W. Wiersbe (1929 – 2019) Author and Conference Speaker
Jack Hughes tells that there is no hiding place for the lazy preacher who is contented to preach in monochrome.
David Meredith Mission Director, Free Church of Scotland, Edinburgh
Thomas Watson compelled people to listen to him whether he was preaching or writing, by the vivid word pictures that he painted, both at his desk and in the pulpit. This rich study should be a treasure in every preacher's library. I highly recommend it.
