The country was on the brink of a devastating invasion. Famine
threatened. Violence and social injustice filled the land. Habakkuk
the Old Testament prophet had every reason to sink into despair.
Where was God in these turbulent times? D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was
one of the twentieth century's foremost preachers and Bible
teachers. The parallels he draws between the message of Habakkuk
and the crisis-ridden West are still powerfully relevant to our own
times. Here is the secret of the problem of history. No event,
however catastrophic, fails to find a place in God's loving purpose
for humanity. Habakkuk's great assertion of faith, in the midst of
enormous personal upheaval and emotional strain, can be ours: 'Yet
I rejoice in the LORD...The Sovereign LORD is my strength.'
With characteristic insight, Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-jones here offers a
detailed and comprehensive exposition of one of the best known but
most frequently misunderstood passages of scripture - the Sermon on
the Mount/ The Sermon on the Mount, says Lloyd-Jones, is not a code
of ethics or morals; it is a description of what Christians are
meant to be. With his eye always on both Scripture and life, he
explains and applied Christ's teaching for Christians struggling to
live like Christ. Originally delivered as sermons, the sixty
studies in this devotional classic provide a fine example of clear,
consecutive expository preaching from one of the greatest preachers
of our time.
A spiritual classic, this detailed and comprehensive study by one
of the greatest expository preachers of our time explains Christ's
teaching in the Sermon on the Mount and incisively applies it to
the Christian life.
For over 30 years, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones ministered at Westminster
Chapel in London. Today, he is widely considered one of the
greatest preachers of the 20th century. Based on a series of
lectures originally given by Lloyd-Jones to the students of
Westminster Theological Seminary in the spring of 1969, this
collection of essays on the essence of powerful preaching has
become a modern classic. Lloyd-Jones defends the primacy of
preaching, showing that there is no substitute, and he challenges
preachers to take their calling seriously: 'The most urgent need in
the Christian Church today is true preaching.' He also provides
practical direction on the task of preparing a sermon, sharing
insights on the shape and form of a message as well as covering
such topics as the use of humor, giving invitations in a message
and the preacher s relationship to the congregation. If you can own
only one book on preaching, make this the one you read. This 40th
anniversary edition includes the original text of Preaching and
Preachers along with essays by Bryan Chapell, Mark Dever, Kevin
DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Timothy Keller and John Piper reflecting on
the impact this book and the ministry of Lloyd-Jones had on their
preaching. This is a book that will continue to speak to a new
generation of preachers and teachers for years to come."
These classic expositions of Isaiah 1 summarize the prophet\u2019s
entire message and God\u2019s way of salvation.
