Reviews

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good introductory manual to preaching. This is a good place to start for anyone who is beginning their journey in preaching. If you've been at it for a while there is nothing particularly new" in this book. However, Robertson's wit and quippy insights and tips related to preaching are absolute gold. These comments are worth the cost of the book and time for any experienced preacher.
