While I applaud Anderson's attempt at a more holistic approach to preaching that labors to blend rhetorical design, spiritual direction and learning theory together, his final product, an "integrative" model of preaching unnecessarily complicated and complex. The design of the model seems circular but not intentionally so. Additionally, Anderson only offers one chapter on how to actually construct a sermon, providing only two samples.

This is a wonderful preaching textbook, helpful to beginners and seasoned preachers who have spent decades in the pulpit.
