Many scholars of preaching consider James S. Stewart one of, if not the greatest, preachers of the 20^th century. In this book he takes us into what I would call “the drumbeat of apostolic preaching.” And he shows us why the preaching of the early church turned the Roman Empire up-side down! The is, for me, the best book on preaching ever written. His chapter on “The Preacher’s Inner Life” simultaneously convicts and empowers me to get on with the glorious work of preaching Jesus and His Gospel.
