The Power of the Pulpit (Gardiner Spring)
$14.75$20.00
“Gardiner Spring’s The Power of the Pulpit is an old classic on preaching that truly believes in the pulpit. It deserves to stand on every minister’s bookshelf beside Spurgeon’s Lectures to my Students and Lloyd-Jones’s Preachers and Preaching. I’ll never forget the first time I read Spring’s chapter on a minister’s personal piety; it overwhelmed me, and moved me to tears, to silence, to confession, and to prayer for mercy and help. This is a great book which every minister should read and re-read, if he really wants to get a sense of the magnitude, awesomeness, power, and beauty of his calling.” — Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theology Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan and author of numerous books on the Puritans and preaching

Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching
$11.99“If you can read only one book this year on preaching, make it this one: Feed My Sheep” — Don Whitney
Biblical preaching is rare today, replaced by sharing, suggesting and storytelling. But the authority of opening and explaining the Word of God is lost when men reduce preaching to that. Too often, men called to feed Christ’s sheep with the Word of God do little more than pet them. This book is a plea to “preach the Word”! But it’s not just a book for pastors; it’s every bit as useful to guide church members to know what to look for in a pastor and in holding their preachers to a lofty Biblical standard.

Pastoral Theology Vol 2: The Man of God, His Preaching and Teaching Labors (Albert N. Martin)
$37.50Pastor Albert N. Martin’s Pastoral Theology volume on preaching begins with the articulation of seven basic axioms that apply to every species of biblical preaching and teaching. From there, he moves forward to identify the three basic categories of sermons. Then a working framework for the actual construction of sermons, including introductions and conclusions, is set before us.
The concluding section focuses on The Act of Preaching itself. In these chapters, such things as the place of emotions, physical action, the use of vocal powers, and the benefits and liabilities of a sermon manuscript are thoroughly discussed.
The author sets a treatment of these various subjects that is drawn primarily from the contents of the Bible, the insights of general revelation, and the confirming voice of proven guides from past generations.
