Reviews

[Barry]

The beauty of this book is that we get twelve sermons from different people to see a range of styles of preaching. As with any collection, each sermon may strike readers differently, so there is little value in rating each sermon. As a whole, this is a good collection of sermons, and it is beneficial to read this variety pack.

After each sermon there is analysis of the sermon by Mr. Robinson and an interview with the preacher/teacher. These are helpful features that add understanding to each sermon and help the reader gain insight into crafting sermons.

All told, this is a worthwhile book to read to give a few perspectives on what constitutes biblical sermons.

[Julie]

Really helpful book with 12 written sermons, an analysis of each and an interview with the preacher. Good teaching in the sermons, but the interpretations are instructive for understanding what the preacher's intent.

[Njaka Tsiory]

This book help christians to understand Holy Spirit message

[David Quinn]

Very helpful to see the interviews with the preachers/speakers. “Learning from preachers about preaching sometimes is better than listening to their sermons”

[Patrick De neergaard]

Good book, but no index or bibliography!
