Are you comfortable in your own shoes?

Are you comfortable in your own preaching shoes? In Well-Driven Nails, my pastor, Byron Yawn, explains the strange event that all of us know as the sermon. Everyone has heard a sermon and many picking up this book have preached or are about to preach a sermon real soon. Ok, so why should a preacher or teacher invest in this book. First, its a fairly unique approach to the subject. Finding your own voice is pretty hard stuff to do in life whether you are a stand up comic or a Sunday school teacher. But for those who study to deliver God's word to an audience it is of immense importance. Secondly, Byron takes a unique road of personal interviews to get inside some of the top preachers of our time, RC Sproul, John Piper and John MacArthur. Then he distills down three necessary ingredients: clarity, simplicity and passion into a very helpful approach to preaching and teaching.Finally, this book is great for the preacher to grasp preaching in a deeper way and is helpful to us being "preached at" so we know what we are supposed to get. That's a pretty tough thing to accomplish in one book and you would never think that he could deliver that dual message, but he does.
