    I was not sure if I should post this in the books and publicatisons section or here, but this is geared to a rather specific group- those involved in puplit ministry.

    Preaching and Preachers- D. Martyn Lloyd Jones

    Annointed Expository Preaching - Olford

    Lecture to my students - Spurgeon

    Teaching on Preaching - Jack Hyles

    In the Outlook (The Magazine of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary)-Fall Edition 2005
    In it there is a good article entitled "Expository Preaching our mandate & Mission"

    It s not a book But Dr. David Allen preached a good message at the pastors conferenece in Jacksonville Fl (FBC Jacksonville) this year on expository preaching. It can be ordered by call the churchs audio ministry. Well worth the effort.

    TomVols,

    I agree that John A. Broadus' volume "A Treatise on the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons" is one of the best volumes in American preaching history and application?

    Do you have any idea why it was so good even until today (and I agree with your assessment that the fisrt three are the best!)? It was built on the classic Rhetoric of Aristotle, Augustine, Cicicro, Quintillian, etc.

    I just happen to be in the middle of a writing project where I am the co-editor of a volume of Broadus' lasting legacy from the many vantage points of his life.

    I would be glad to talk to anyone online, or offline, or PM about Broadus. Let me know.

    sdg!

    I have only read one book about preaching and preparation, but I thought it was really good: Steps to the Sermon by Al Fasol.

    I might have to check some of these others out sometime when I get time, though.
