A Great Preaching Book You Must Check Out Now

At Karis Church, we are very intentional and passionate about training preachers. I've recently encountered a book that I'm confident we'll use. It's Saving Eutychus: How to Preach God's Word and Keep People Awake by Gary Millar and Phil Campbell. The book is terrific. Here is what trusted N.T. scholar D.A. Carson has to say about it:

I have read books on how to make sure your sermon is interesting, and I have read books on how to make sure your sermon is faithful to the text, but this book wants your sermon to be both. If I could, I would make this little book mandatory reading for seminarians everywhere, and then urge them to read it a couple more times during the course of their ministry. It avoids cutesy and manipulative suggestions, and makes its practical points while urging integrity, faithfulness, and imagination. Many books on preaching are published every year; this one is a “must.”

This is a great accompanying volume for Faithful Preaching by Tony Merida, another book we use. I'll put up a short review soon. Grab it here now.
