Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a guide to preparing effective Sermons with comments by Thirteen Preachers which was edited by RICHARD ALLEN BODEY--the book is a Second Printing and a softcover copy.  This book is in SUPERB condition and has sparse light green highlighting on seven of the book's early pages but just slight shelfwear and slight evidence of gentle browsing otherwise but NO other significant flaws!   The book is titled Inside the Sermon: Thirteen Preachers Discuss Their Methods of Preparing Messages and it was edited by RICHARD ALLEN BODEY; it was published by Baker Book House in May 1991 and is a 2nd Printing copy.

In this volume thirteen noted expositors reveal the secrets for crafting their sermons.  Pulpiteers such as J. I. Packer, Edmund Clowney, Walter Kaiser, Lewis Johnson, Stuart Briscoe, and Ray Stedman discuss a wide range of issues related to sermon preparation.  They share how they obtain sermon idess, choose and study a biblical text, gather illustrations, and use commentaries.  The desire of each contributor is that ministers will find "some hint, some procedure, or some practice that will make the task of sermon preparation easier and more rewarding."

Each contributor not only explains his method of sermon preparation but also provides a model sermon that illustrates his procedure.  These sermons offer superb examples of relevant and well-crafted sermons, which will be of inestimable help in preparing dynamic messages.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
