Called to Preach: Fulfilling the High Calling of Expository Preaching by Steven J. Lawson
informative

There are better preaching books out there. There’s some theology I’d disagree with which affected my opinion a tiny bit, but mostly I just found that the vast majority of the book was him just saying the same ideas over and over again with slightly different words.
Though to be fair, despite my grievances, there were some sections of great wisdom in there.
Overall it’s the kind of book that benefits from getting someone else to read it and give you highlights vs just reading it yourself. For instance, chapter 3 and maybe chapter 5 will give you most of the best parts of the book for a fraction of the time - so I’d probably just focus on those.
