About this ebook
The Bible is often difficult to comprehend for those in the pews. Even those who value preaching as an important element of their ministry are challenged when confronted with difficult texts. Brooks welcomes the challenge and offers methods aimed at developing sermons that allow the good news to shine through even the most difficult of Bible texts.
