Preaching the Scriptures

I have no hesitation in saying that the greatest need of the Christian church on the African continent is biblical preaching. It saddens my heart that such preaching has become so rare on our continent. So I am excited that a book to help us get back to biblical preaching has been written right here in Africa. If all of us who are called to the preaching ministry can take to heart the wise counsel Dr Joel Biwul gives in this immensely practical book, there may be hope for this continent.

I did not want to put the book down. I highly recommend this book to every pastor and indeed to all Christians. I pray that God will use Preaching the Scriptures mightily in his church.
