Preaching is a sacred privilege that God has graciously entrusted to us as servants of Christ and as stewards of the gospel. Preachingby the Book is a practical handbook offering fundamental guidance for preachers beginning to explore their gifts, and fresh insights for seasoned veterans desiring to refine their craft. R. Scott Pace challenges preachers to develop both style and substance by considering their unique personality and gifts, the work of the Spirit, and the particular audience on a given occasion.
