Living Water for Thirsty Souls: Unleashing the Power of Exegetical Preaching

by Marvin A. McMickle, Marvin a

Designed to help preachers engage in a disciplined and deliberate study of biblical materials, the central premise of Living Water for Thirsty Souls is that preaching should be grounded and centered in the truths and lessons of the Bible. To achieve this goal, author Marvin McMickle has formulated an approach to biblical exegesis for preaching that is easy for students to learn and useful for pastors to employ long after their student days are done. This eight\-step approach covers the 8Ls \-\- limits, literature, language, location, links, leads, lessons, and life application. These teaching tools are guaranteed to take the preacher through the transition from text to sermon, resulting in a rich harvest of preaching material.

Taking a different angle at the approach to exegetical preaching Dr. McMickle alliterates the 8 L’s of the hermeneutics and homiletics of preaching the Gospel message. A well-thought out written presentation for the beginning and the advanced preacher. A reference work for the preacher’s library.
