Teaching on Preaching

by Jack Hyles

Dr. Hyles made no attempt at being original. He often said that the definition of leadership is, “One who goes from follower to follower and collects ideas, compiles them, puts them in a book, and sells a copy to each follower.” Dr. Hyles was privileged to travel the length and breadth of this country. He met many men of God who influenced him in his preaching. Dr. Hyles collected ideas and methods from them and compiled them into this book. “Someone has said that preaching is pouring back in a flood what you receive from the audience in a vapor. I trust that you are refreshed and blessed and helped by the flood."

About the author

Jack Hyles was a leading figure in the Independent Baptist movement, having pastored the First Baptist Church of Hammond in Hammond, Indiana, from 1959 until his death. He was also well known for being an innovator of the church bus ministry that brought thousands of people each week from surrounding towns to Hammond for services. Jack Hyles built First Baptist up from fewer than a thousand members to a membership of 100,000. In 1993 and again in 1994, it was reported that 20,000 people attended First Baptist every Sunday, making it the most attended Baptist church in the United States. In 2001, at the time of Hyles death, 20,000 people were attending church services and Sunday school each week.
