There can surely be no question as to the tremendous importance and paramount need for the prayerful preparation and effective presentation of the gospel message. This is a matter of concern, not only... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you want to know what it REALLY means to preach effectively, this book is a must have. It takes you from YOU through how to conduct public prayer and scripture reading. Everything you need to know to become a polished preacher. It's also full of examples of several sermon types and how to write them. The book is not only clear, concise and organized, but he doesn't sugar coat anything. He gets to the point. It's easy reading. I recommend reading the book several times, using a highlighter and taking notes. Your preaching will never be the same!
Essential reading for preachers and bible teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is second-to-none in its field. An reasonably concise, yet thorough treatment of the subject. It is firmly biblically based, avoiding the pitfall of being too "trendy" into which so many contemporary offerings fall. Gibbs understands that preaching is far more than simply public speaking, and addresses qualifications of the preacher rather than just the techniques of the delivery. Although listed as out of print, I believe it is still available from Gospel Folio Press...
This book is the best I have read on the Subject!

The Preacher and his Preaching is a must have for anyone interested in preaching or entering the ministry in any facet. A. P. Gibbs left us a wealth of information on preaching, and he bases everything on his extensive experience in the pulpit- all backed up with scripture. I am amazed that such a fine work is out of print.
Excellent Pastor's Handbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Alfred Gibbs writes one of the best books I have read on the in's and out's of becoming a preacher and a better pastor. In my opinion this book is a must have for any prospective pastors. This book will give you the guidance needed to avoid pitfalls in preaching. He covers the qualifications of preaching, the call of a pastor, the necessity for preaching, gives examples of different sermons, examples on building a proper library, and more. This is a real nuts and bolts book on the power of the pulpit. It's an oldie but a goodie, one book that should be republished.
