by John R.W. Stott

Through studying five roles of a preacher – steward, herald, witness, father, and servant – Stott illustrates God’s ideal for a preacher’s character, message and purpose.

Short, yet challenging, read that every preacher could and should make time to work through!

Solid exegesis and great reminders for all preachers! I particularly was edified through the chapter on Preacher as steward and the preacher as servant.
