Preaching as a Priority

This book is for ordinary ministers who regularly preach to ordinary listeners in ordinary places.

Most of us preach to congregations that are smaller than we would like, and more difficult than we expected when we began our pastoral ministry. As we prepare and preach our sermons, there is a voice that whispers in our ear: Is it really worth it...?

Christopher Ash writes to show us that it is worth it. And, beyond that, he draws a roadmap for preaching rooted in the Old Testament itself, demonstrating to us that there is nothing in the world more valuable than that. Because preaching is God's strategy for rebuilding a ruined world.

“There are many books that offer advice and anecdotes for preachers, but this one offers pastors great encouragement to make preaching a priority and keep it that way.” David Burke - Orchard Road Presbyterian Church, Singapore
