Expository Preaching Guide

Dr. Stephen F. Olford (now deceased) and his son Dr. David L. Olford, both respected preachers, define what "expository preaching" is (exposing Scripture rather than imposing it), teach the technique, and detail its importance ("true Christian preaching is expository"). This book equips and encourages preachers to obey their calling and minister the Word of God with a pure heart and a strong mind.

By following Olford's methods and praying for the Holy Spirit's guidance, preachers can effectively exercise the art, science, and spiritual gift of preaching. And, by understanding the unique role of the preacher as a mouthpiece for God, they can live an exemplary life dedicated to serving Christians and non-Christians everywhere.

"Dr. Olford has given us a landmark book, the fruit of a lifetime of devotion to biblical preaching. His passion for the clear proclamation of God's Word is communicated in a readable and engaging style that is sure to ignite a similar passion in the hearts of readers." John MacArthur, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church, president of The Master's College and Seminary

"This book is a true encyclopedia for preachers and their preaching. It is full of practical, direct, and pertinent guidelines that are clothed in seasoned advice and a concern to restore expository preaching to its rightful place in ministry." Charles C. Ryrie, professor emeritus of Dallas Theological Seminary

"Is the ability to preach an art, a science, or a spiritual gift? The truth is, it is all three. Stephen and David Olford form a wonderful team, who individually and together unfold the art, science, and gift of preaching. Much of what I know about preaching I have learned from the Olfords, and I still have much to learn. I am convinced that every preacher will be enriched by this book, which is profoundly spiritual and intensely practical." Adrian Rogers, Senior Pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee.
