Preaching Magazine's 2015 Book of the Year

If you are a pastor, you know the importance of preaching. You have spent time learning and refining the art of preaching because it is vital to the life of God's people--including the preacher. But you probably also find it challenging.

On Preaching is a masterful resource that will refresh your soul and revitalize your preaching ministry.

Drawing upon Scripture and years of preaching experience, H. B. Charles offers a practical resource for pastors, seminarians, church planters, and Bible teachers that is full of energy and wonderfully enjoyable. He gives tips like, "Avoid indecent exposure--get your wife's permission before using your family in the message" and "Illustrate A good illustration is like a window on a house. It helps your listeners see in or out."

Written in a very clear and concise manner, this resource is formatted into 30 short chapters that can easily be read as a devotional. On Preaching will encourage seasoned preachers to dig deeper into the basics as they pause and reflect on the effectiveness of their ministry. It will also serve as a spring board for those who are just beginning a preaching ministry.
