Today's preachers who want their sermons to relate to everyday life are asking hard questions. How do you deal with that oh-so-delicate subject of sex?

This book was great.

It was good to learn from other preacher’s experiences. They helped me see the relevance of what we do from the pulpit in a more profound way.

Plus, I’m thankful because each one of them gave me practical advices I can easily apply.

It was also nice to know they have battles and challenges like me when delivering a message.

I’ve been inspired more than ever to be true to the Gospel and help others understand the whole counsel of God.

I highly recommend this book to any preacher who wants to keep learning and growing in his gift.
