Excellent book! Best book I’ve read on expository preaching theologically sound and practically sound.

This is a good book on preaching. The explanation of exposition was good and there are great nuggets scattered throughout. I think the chapter on illustrations was really good. I also liked the explanation of what Christ-centered exposition is. I did not buy in on his fallen condition focus approach to a text. I also would poke at some the stuff on application. The appendices provide brief, practical advice. Overall it a good book on preaching expository sermons.

A very excellent resource for preachers. Very detailed. I also liked the Appendices a lot. I imagine I'll pull it off the shelf before the next time I preach.

This was a fantastic look at how to preach a sermon with Christ as the focus.
It develops on introductions, conclusions, links, the main body, different points in the main body, illustrations of the main points and applications of the main points.
Worth the read for anyone involved in preaching, or anyone studying to be involved in preaching.
I found it very helpful in thinking about what elements might be present in a sermon I conducted last Sunday (I completed the book the following Wednesday).
One could get bogged down in planning one's hand gestures, stance and dress, and other little details of the sermon preparation and presentation event. However, if general principles are taken and applied, without allowing oneself to be overwhelmed by the different points Chapell brings up, then this book would be extremely beneficial to the Christian preacher or communicator.
