Preaching today all too often tragically misses the point.

We've all heard sermons that sound more like a lecture, filling the head but not the heart. And we've all heard sermons tailored to produce an emotional experience, filling the heart but not the head. But biblical preaching both informs minds and engages hearts--giving it the power to transform lives. By the Spirit's grace, biblical preaching brings truth home from the heart of the preacher to the heart of the hearer.

Joel Beeke--a pastor and professor of preaching with over four decades of experience--explores the fundamental principles of Reformed experiential preaching, examining sermons by preachers from the past and bridging the historical gap by showing pastors what the preaching of God's life-transforming truth looks like today.

  • Author has 4 decades of experience in preaching as a pastor in three churches and as a conference speaker around the world
  • Draws from a wide array of sources, including preachers from the 16th century to the 20th century, such as John Calvin, John Bunyan, Jonathan Edwards, and Martyn Lloyd-Jones
  • Based on 50 years of research on the preaching tradition of the Reformers and the Puritans
  • Helps modern preachers clearly communicate the doctrines of the Bible and wisely apply them to the hearts of their hearers
