My Review:
This is a very great resource for any minister to have! Those were the exact words from my husband. He was so excited when he seen this book arrive at our home. He is in seminary and will soon be writing sermons and he has enjoyed flipping through the book and reading all the helps inside. For someone just starting out on sermon writing this will become their very best friend. He helps them until they get more experience at sermon writing.
The book includes sermons and outlines for each week as well as a few thrown in there for special occasions and holidays. It even can give that aspiring minister sermon starts for the times that they would just like an idea or topic to just start the process. With over 500 pages there is something in this book for every minister to use and to learn from.
The book is edited by O.S. Hawkins, he has combined these messages from several minsters such as Daniel Akin, the President of the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and J.D. Greear, Lead Pastor of the Summit Church just to name a few. There is enough in this book to last any preacher about years worth of teachings. There is even a disc included to assist you with the book. What is also great about this book is it is updated yearly. So there is always something new to add.
As stated in the introduction, this is only a tool. This is a sourcebook to be used along with the other tools that you use to create your sermons. You are to use it in such a manner to enhance God's message to His people.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Booksneeze.
