Summary

Is your congregation starving?

There's a spiritual famine in the land—a shortage of faithful preaching leaving those in the pews dangerously undernourished.

We need people today who will preach like the prophets and apostles did, proclaiming the word of God with courage and conviction. Famine in the Land, a compilation and adaptation of four powerful journal articles by Steven Lawson, makes a biblically-grounded argument for the desperate importance of expository preaching.

Whether you preach to 3,000 or 30 this book will embolden you to:

• revere the glorious, painful, historical call of preaching
• dig deep in your study of God's word
• speak and live with uncompromising conviction

This is an indispensable resource for any church leader who wants to see lives changed through preaching.
