Too often we make the mistake of minimizing the importance of the ‘means of persuasion.’ This book reminds us that God uses means and that it is our responsibility as preachers to employ those means as effectively as we can in the grand work of proclaiming God’s word. This book will help us do that.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMike Bullmore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e,\u003c\/strong\u003e Former Founding Pastor, CrossWay Community Church, Bristol, Wisconsin; author, \u003cem\u003eThe Heart of Preaching: The Functional Centrality of the Gospel in the Life and Work of the Preacher\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This accessible handbook provides a treasury of practical advice for the preacher, rooted in biblical priorities and honed by years of experience.

Now come fresh challenges and opportunities. Some preachers bend all their energies into getting the text right but neglect to put in the full work—to get it across to the actual people in the room. They are sober exegetes, very good; now we pray they might become more effective preachers. Ready to help, at precisely this point, is \u003ci\u003ePersuasive Preaching. \u003c\/i\u003eFaithful preaching is no mere running commentary on a passage. It wounds, and it heals. It convicts and comforts. It owns both the biblical text and the congregation present that day.
