Preaching, and especially expository preaching, is a vital part of the life of most churches. It is the most effective way of proclaiming the Word of God benefiting both preacher and congregation.

The expository method of Bible study seeks to present truths, concepts and principles that are taught by a Scripture passage. This book will help those called to preach to understand their calling and develop their gift thus becoming better able to communicate the Word of God in a way that their audience will understand their message and respond positively to.
