Message & The Messenger: A Guide to Basic Sermon Preparation & Ministry Protocol

"The Message and the Messenger" may be the first
and last book you will need on basic sermon preparation.
Written from a scholarly but pastoral perspective, Dr. Tony V.
Lewis, President of Christian Bible Institute and Seminary,
provides a great concise guide in preparing not only the sermon,
but the preacher, for a lifetime of ministerial service from the
pulpit. In the opening pages of the book, Dr. Lewis writes, "The
call to ministry and to preaching is also a call to preparation and
a call to study." This book gives the reader spiritual, academic,
and practical ways in which they can prepare themselves for a
lifetime of preaching."
