Martyn Lloyd-Jones has been described as "the last of the preachers." While he would have rejected such a claim, no preacher in Great Britain attracted such continuous crowds and was held in such high esteem.
"Why am I willing to speak and lecture on preaching? There are a few reasons. Preaching has been my life's work. I have been in ministry for forty-two years, and most of my work has been preaching; not exclusively, but most of it. It is also something I have been constantly studying. I am aware of my inadequacy and my mistakes while trying to preach all these years; and this has inevitably led to much study and examination and a general interest in this whole matter. But, finally, my reason for being willing to give these lectures is that, for me, the work of preaching is the greatest and most glorious calling to which anyone can ever be called. If anything more is to be added to that, I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian Church today is faithful preaching; and just as it is the greatest and most urgent need in the Church, it is also obviously the greatest need in the world." Martyn Lloyd-Jones
This book is a magnificent manual on preaching. Comprehensive, engaging, and profound. Its content alternates doctrine with Martyn Lloyd-Jones' many rich experiences in his long ministry as a preacher.
