In this new book on preaching, Lewis Allen sets out to prove three basic convictions: that the church needs pastors who last and thrive; that preachers must understand how preaching works and how their own souls work; and that the Westminster Shorter Catechism is an outstanding resource for the heart need of every preacher.
Allen adopts a cate chetical format using a series of 43 questions and answers. This makes it easy to read and to use devotionally.
