Scripture holds a simple declaration that sets every pastor's highest priority: preach the Word. When you consider all God intends to accomplish through preaching - feeding, comforting, correcting and protecting his people, and pointing unbelievers to Christ - it becomes clear why the task carries such weight. This volume gathers the strongest messages on preaching delivered at the Shepherds' Conference held annually at Grace Community Church in Southern California.

John MacArthur contributes alongside other seasoned Bible teachers, and the material is arranged around why preaching matters, the character a faithful preacher must have, the keys to preaching effectively, and preaching in the power of the Spirit rather than in one's own competence. The first volume in The Shepherd's Library, a series built to help pastors serve with excellence. Hardcover, 240 pages.
