He is NOT Silent: Preaching in a PostModern World by R. Albert Mohler Jr. is an exceptionally good read on the state of preaching and what is needed for today. The length is reasonable and can be read in about a week. Each chapter has a specific focus that the preacher will find to be challenging and encouraging. The text is packed full of scripture, fully quoted and left in its context. Mohler’s chapter on the preacher as a theologian is unusually helpful. He is spot on as he emphasizes the need for sound doctrine in postmodernity. Finally, the epilogue on the Baptist preacher Charles H. Spurgeon is superb!
Any man who aspires to the office of pastor must read this book.
