The purpose of our lives is to know the God of the universe who made us and loves us. It is this purpose that biblical preaching meets through explaining God's word. Biblical preaching centres around proclaiming God's Word and preachers are to be mouthpieces for God as we encounter the living Christ through Scripture. Jonathan Lamb illustrates the power of God's Word by focusing our attention on the heart, task and purpose of preaching by leading us through Nehemiah 8:1-12.

Reworked to benefit from the authors' years of experience working alongside indigenous preaching movements around the world, this book includes excellent resources for group studies, preaching preparation and running a preachers' group.
