Summary: A book that pierces the heart.
Comment: There are few joys as great as a fire in your bones to build up Christ's church through preaching. And there are few frustrations as great as leaving the pulpit with the impression that you have had little, if any, impact. Robinson's book is an invaluable tool to improve your preaching - the "living interaction involving God, the preacher, and the congregation."
He begins by making the case for expository preaching, explaining that the reason "most modern preaching evokes little more than a wide yawn" is because God is not in it. Robinson tells his readers the importance of preaching a single biblical idea and then gives instructions on how to effectively deliver a message from God to your audience; he includes how different logical sermon structures may communicate certain ideas more effectively - how to bring your sermon outline to life - what makes a good introduction and conclusion - "how to preach so people will listen" etc.
His book takes hold of the heart by establishing a conviction for God-honoring study and sermon development and never lets it go until the end of his instruction.
My highest recommendation.

Summary: A real eye-opener
Comment: This is an excellent book on expository preaching. Robinson declares that in the act of preaching God himself is speaking through the pastor. Thus, as preachers of the Word, we have a tremendous responsibility to be faithful to it. Robinson's thesis is that this faithfulness is best found in expository preaching. He states that expository preaching is more than a philosophy than a method. Does the preacher bend his or her own thought to the Word, or does the Word bend to the preacher's thought? Although Robinson believes that preaching is an art, he rightly states that there is a methodology behind the art that almost anyone can master. So, step-by-step, he leads us through the process of putting together the sermon.
Robinson finds the strength of an expository sermon is that it proclaims the Word. If we do not preach the Word, we abandon authority. The Bible is great literature that demands a response; thus, we are to preach ideas, not word definitions. Robinson lifts us up above the Bible lecture sermon to preaching to demand a response to the living God. The final chapters on delivery, dress and appearance were great. Too many books on preaching ignore these important considerations.
The book was such and eye-opener, I found it very difficult to find fault with it. I will take issue with his criticism of the use of a manuscript. It did not take into account that such great speakers as Bill Hybels uses a manuscript in the pulpit.
Every preacher should own and read this book.

Summary: Learn From One of the Great Expositors of our Time
Comment: In "Biblical Preaching," master preacher, Haddon Robinson, takes his readers through ten stages in the development of expository messages. These stages include: selecting and studying the passage, discovering and analyzing the exegetical idea, formulating the homiletical idea, determining the sermon's purpose, deciding how to accomplish this purpose, outlining the message, filling in the sermon outline, and preparing the introduction and conclusion. Robinson's ten-stage process is filled with valuable information and pithy insights. "Biblical Preaching" is a concise but fairly comprehensive guide to preparing an effective message from start to finish. The book provides an opportunity to learn from one of the great expositors of our time. For a more thorough study of the art and science of expository preaching I recommend "Power in the Pulpit" by Jerry Vines. In my mind, these are the two best expository preaching books I've had the pleasure of reading.
