Summary

Preaching, that long neglected and much required skill, has two competing strains. On the one hand preachers need to hold onto the truth of the message, striking the line of truth cleanly, never adding to it or removing from it. On the other hand preachers need to communicate -- to reach out, and with the help of the Spirit, grab the heart of the listener. It's not an easy balance to find. but Stephen McQuoid brings a refreshing dose of sensible and thoroughly Biblical advice to help us.
