What Angels Long to Read: Reading and Preaching the New Testament
‘Even angels long to look into these things’
Peter wrote to encourage and embolden isolated and vulnerable believers. His timeless words have consoled and challenged ever since and show how the eternal gospel is true even in the toughest circumstances. The last sentence in 1 Peter 1:12 profoundly illustrates that the experience we have each time we open up the Scriptures is nothing less than a heavenly privilege, a privilege that angels do not have but would love to!
Mark Meynell skilfully brings the New Testament to life. Guiding the reader through preaching the Gospels and Acts, the Parables, the Letters and Revelation, as well as using a host of worked examples, sample sermons and personal exercises, this book offers ideas and approaches to stretch even the most seasoned preachers. This preaching resource will make an excellent companion to Christopher Wright’s Sweeter than Preaching the Old Testament.

This book is a fantastic resource for those that preach the Word. Both those new and those old to preaching will find this insightful and helpful when preparing sermons.
I found the three chapters on preaching Revelation particularly helpful.
I highly recommend this book to all God's people, but especially those that are preaching His Word.
