This book is based on sermons by William Taylor on 2 Corinthians, and, as a weak pastor, a weak gospel proclaimer, leading a church that is weak by the world’s standards, I found it a tremendous encouragement to ‘be confident in the “weak” ministry of gospel proclamation’.
Books based on preached sermons can be difficult, the spoken word not transposing to the written word with quite the same power. That wasn’t the case here. As Taylor worked through 2 Corinthians, with that focus on weakness, I found myself greatly helped and challenged.
