Much of what emanates from modern pulpits would not be recognized by history's great preachers as being Bible-based and glorifying to God. Rather than the spiritual meat the Body of Christ needs--marked by doctrinal clarity, a sense of gravity, convincing argument, and a proper focus on Christ--entire churches are being administered a sweet but substanceless snack by their pastors. Consequently, congregations leave the sanctuary malnourished and ill-prepared to stand firm when their faith is challenged.
Recognizing the need for a return to biblical preaching, Alistair Begg has written this compelling booklet. In it he not only defines biblical preaching but tells how to accomplish it, explains its distinctives, and demonstrates its importance in the life of a church. Every Christian--pastor or not--is responsible to study the Scriptures and to learn to handle the Word correctly. This booklet aids in discerning how well one's church is doing in this area and offers suggestions for ensuring that the entire Body of Christ is being not only fed, but spiritually nourished.

Short and sweet Nov 24, 2001
Begg's 48-page, 6-chapter work is a breath of fresh air into the preaching world. Begg's argument for expository preaching and his chapter on "Practical Pointers" is exceptional - any preacher, whether they agree with expository preaching or not, should read this book. Anyone who does will come away with a greater realization of the magnitude and importance of preaching the Word of God to our world today.
Preaching For God's Glory by Alistair Begg May 26, 2000
Alistair Begg's comments on the importance of expository preaching are a must-read for those handling God's Word. As usual, his insights are invaluable. This book is a credit to its field and should be read and applied by pastors and laity. All Christians are called to the Great Commission, and this book is a practical way of presenting Jesus and Him crucified to a lost world. I thank God for faithful, uncompromising preachers and teachers, such as Alistair Begg.
