Preach the Word: Essays on Expository Preaching in Honor of R. Kent Hughes Book

The message of this book is simple and it's in the name: preach the word. This is a fairly simple idea, but it is a hard thing to practice. I'm not a preacher by profession or hobby, but this book is for more than just preachers.

This book has challenged me:
* To read the Bible better to learn what a text means and its implications, and to only speak of those.
* To value and study the Old Testament more and to see Christ there.
* To be a herald of the Gospel message and to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit to convince and sanctify rather than my own power.
* To learn more about history and the present culture and to believe that the Gospel is still sufficient.
* To value discipleship more.

I happened to have known all of these things before reading this book. Even still, this book was wonderful informative and convicting.
