Few books on preaching can claim to be a "must read," but Don Sunukjian's book, Invitation to Biblical Preaching , will undoubtedly become a companion for many preachers. Don Sunukjian takes us directly to the site, avoiding no questions about the workings of preaching.
Readers will particularly benefit from sections on plans, relevance and oral clarity. I highly recommend it.
Normand Joseph, pastor of the Église de l'Espoir Évangélique Baptiste, and professor of preaching, Sembeq, Montreal.

“When Donald Sunukjian writes something about preaching, I read it. He is a master at understanding how ideas work and how to develop them. If your sermons aren't crystal clear, read what he has to say. »
Craig Bryan Larson, editor, PreachingToday.com

Invitation to Biblical Preaching guides readers through proven principles, stated in fresh ways. If every seasoned preacher and every novice made this their basic principle, our pulpits would ring out loud and clear, “This is what God is telling us!” »
Calvin Pearson, E. Hermond Westmoreland Chair Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Invitation to Bible Preaching takes the reader step-by-step through the complete process of preparing a Bible message, from Bible study to planning your talk. Preachers, as well as those training in preaching, will particularly appreciate the original content, the abundance of examples and the clarity of the instructions. Two complete sermons (one from the First Testament and one from the New) reinforce the principles set forth in this work.

Donald R. Sunukjian is professor of homiletics and head of the department of Christian Ministry and Leadership at Talbot School of Theology. He is a frequent contributor to various preaching books, magazines and websites, including PreachingToday.com.
