About this ebook
"The amazing lack of concern for purpose among homileticians and preachers has spawned a brood of preachers who are dull, lifeless, abstract and impersonal; it has obscured truth, hindered joyous Christian living, destroyed dedication and initiative, and stifled service for Christ." –Jay Adams, from the book Preaching needs to become purposeful, says Jay Adams, because purposeless preaching is deadly. This book was written to help preachers and students discover the purpose of preaching has and the ways that the Scriptures inform and direct the preaching task. Preaching with Purpose, like the many other books of Jay Adams, speaks clearly and forcefully to the issue. Having read this book, both students and experienced preachers will be unable to ignore the urgent task of purposeful preaching. And the people of God will be the better for it.

Jay Adams' short book on preaching is a must for any pastor concerned with preaching skills outside of sermon preparation, meaning - anyone who is looking to understand their congregation or how to plan sermons in advance. Adams' pastoral insight is refreshing and much needed in our chaotic approach to preaching. Also, Adams presents his thoughts from a Reformed perspective; he's concerned with preaching Christ and bringing change to people's lives. An excellent resource. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I was very disappointed with this book. He climbs up on several hobby horses and beats em real good (i.e. he feels its awful to have any congregational singing after the message). Much better books can be found!
