Resumen del Editor

In every generation, the church stands in dire need of God-called people to preach the word with precision and power. Preachers who will not replace sound theology with culturally palatable soundbites. Preachers who will clearly and faithfully share the gospel and inspire those in their churches to live godly lives.

Through in-depth biblical analysis and inspiring examples from church history, Steven J. Lawson paints a picture of God's glory magnified through faithful preaching, reclaiming the high ground of biblical preaching for the next generation. With helpful advice and practical guidance gleaned from 50 years in ministry, Lawson helps aspiring preachers know if they are called to preach; understand the qualifications for ministry; and develop, improve, and deliver strong expository sermons that illuminate the word of God in a dark world.

A Mini Seminary

Almost the same material as taught in Dr. Lawson's expository preaching seminar, but nonetheless just as valuable. A wonderful refresher or primer to those of us "called to preach". A brilliant teacher sharing his knowledge of what every pastor needs to know. A must read for all who are called.

Honestly.

This is the GREATEST audio book I have ever listened to… except for 1 other (of course☺️🙏 📖) I submitted to Gods call to preach later in life this year 2022. I am 44 yrs old, a husband, father of 3 boys (all living at home) and my mother lives with us. We are a single income family and I have worked for the same company for the past 17 years. Im currently preaching from the pulpit at my church about once every other month. My time to prepare messages is very limited and I’ve been burdened about what to do.

This book has given me profound insight that I didn’t know or understand. Thank you Dr Lawson for patiently working through and writing a book that is a biblical guide to rightly handling Gods Word. 2 Timothy 2:15

Please pray for me. It is a heavy-laden call and knowing the only way to make more time would be to leave my career.

To all who read this… I sincerely thank you for your prayers.

Excellent resource. Very encouraging

This will certainly be a quick resource I’ll use in the years to come. I read it through twice and was greatly encouraged each time. I can’t wait to read through the biographies of saints of old that were recommended in the book.

A Must Read

Outstanding and thorough writing. Steven Lawson does an excellent job making the calling understandable.

A great resource for preachers!

This book is a must read for anyone seeking to obey the call to preach. the Author provides profitable biblical wisdom and basic principles to initiate those who seek to preach in a good path to faithful expository preaching. this book must be read a least once a year . seasoned and novice preachers will benefit from this book

Gripping, appreciative

I have a new found respect for the pastors who labor so intensively as is laid out in this book. Even if I don’t become a pastor, I will certainly glean from it practical applications to teaching and sharing the word of God. Intriguing, thorough, engaging.

Great book on how to preach and why.

Great book for men that are wondering if they have a call of God to preach in the Christian Church. As well, it covers not just the fundamentals of the preparation required before you begin to preach, but also the life long commitment to preach Biblically with rigorous, regular study of the Bible. Lawson also a gives strong admonition to make sure the the preacher lives a life of holiness and filling the teachings of scripture. I highly recommend this book.

Sincerely,
Pastor Paul Trimble

A very valuable resource

This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is thinking about going into ministry specifically preaching. Highly recommend it You can’t go wrong with a book by Steven Lawson.

Narrator Did a good fine job of pacing to keep the book moving. Good narrator.

Excellent synopsis of call to preach

I would have given a full 5 stars if there had been some examples of good sermons - examples of pace, modulation and tone as well as structure. Given audio format, and this topic, a perfect medium to demonstrate not solely describe. Otherwise excellent.

Mid-level work; solid insights

Didn’t like how they seemed to pit preaching vs. any other work in the world as greater than the other. Needs a robust theology of work informing it, but overall great insights to preaching, prep, and personal holiness. Seems very similar to your average preaching book read in seminary.
