Summary: The best book on preaching I've read
Review: This book is absolutely the best book on preaching I've read. It came at just the right time in my life, and tackled in my life that needed attention.

He tackles the issues of passion, the draining nature of pastoral work, and the preacher's pride. I plan on re-reading this book often.

If you've ever felt that something is missing in your preaching, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it, this book is for you.
