Every preacher should read one book a year on preaching. It
will help keep him sharp and mindful of his task and obligation as a preacher.
Here are my favorites:
- D.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones, PREACHING & PREACHERS, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1972. The best I have ever
read, and I learn from it every time I read it. It speaks to the heart of
the preacher.
- C.H.
Spurgeon, LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS, AP&A, Grand Rapids, 1972. Dated, but timeless
in much of its content.
- Merrill
F. Unger, PRINCIPLES OF EXPOSITORY PREACHING, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1955. Not a ordinary how
to preach book, deals more on principles of being an expositor than how to
put a sermon together.
- Haddon
W. Roberson, BIBLICAL PREACHING; THE DEVELOMENT AND DELIVERY OF EXPOSITORY
MESSAGES, Baker, Grand Rapids,
1980. One of the best of how to put a sermon together and thinking on what
each step should entail.
- Douglas
M. White, THE EXCELLENCE OF EXPOSITOION: PRACTICAL PROCEDURE IN EXPOSITORY
PREACHING, Loizeaux Brothers, Neptune
NJ, 1977. Helpful in the
overall aspects of expository preaching, brief in parts, but an over all
good presentation. You will see some humor in his outlines of sermons, but
mainly centers upon importance of expository preaching.
