There are several errors that preaching books often make. One is that they are too theoretical or technical, written perhaps by someone who has read about preaching, but who has rarely been engaged in the work. Or, for the same reason, they are written in such a way as to make the connections with actual preaching opaque. These books aim at making their mark in the lecture hall more than in the pulpit. Other books are eminently practical, but based on dubious theological or exegetical premises. Ironically, books written in defence of expository preaching often rely on poor exegesis to make their points. But his little book, written for preachers by an experienced preacher, largely avoids all these pitfalls.
