… preaching the Bible is a task that requires hard, painstaking, concentrated, prayerful work. Jon’s enthusiastic treatment of the subject will stimulate young preachers to roll up their sleeves, and will urge experienced preachers to keep making progress, with the aim that their last–ever sermon should be their very best. A great aim! I commend the book most warmly.

Full of home truths, this is the book I needed as a preacher (and will probably need again in a year’s time): it often made me feel uncomfortable. Full of practical wisdom, this is a book that gave me some helpful ideas to sharpen my preaching. Full of warmth and wit, this is a book I enjoyed reading.

I’ve known Jon since college days and I’ve watched him flourish in to an outstanding communicator. He has worked at his craft and this book is a call to himself and others to keep going. To not grow weary. To not lose the wonder of serving Christ. May the Lord use what you’re holding to spur you on.
