Prepared to Preach: God's Work and Ours in Proclaiming His Word (Christian Focus)
"The keynote that Scharf strikes throughout is preparation: first the preparation of the preacher, and second, the preparation of the message. Preaching is not mere explanation - it is proclamation of the living and enduring Word of God. In the detailed chapters on preparing the message Scharf excels. His careful and logical approach will surely result in better preaching - there is no higher commendation for a book on preaching."~ Robin Sydserff (Minister, St Catherine's Argyle Church of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland)
