Summary

'For those wrestling with the task of how to communicate God's truth to a self-centered, sound-bite generation that has lost confidence in the very notion of truth, this may be just the book to turn to. The authors have done an excellent job of understanding the challenge and offering usable instruction on how to meet it. This book is recommended reading for preachers of the Bible as we launch out into a new millennium.'-Duane Litfin
