This in-depth study offers all serious Bible students a detailed and readable consideration of the book of Hebrews.

Intended for preachers, university and seminary students, and adult Bible class teachers, Hebrews: Ancient Encouragement for Believers Today is a "bridge" commentarydelivering the best insights of contemporary scholarship in understandable, non-technical language.

The same structure and intense focus on Jesus permeates and empowers this narrative commentary, bringing fresh encouragement to believers today.

An international spectrum of Bible scholars and church leaders commend the meticulous scholarship and sound exposition in this book and note its tremendous clarity and simplicity, its wise application and elegant prose. Reviewers call it "brilliant" and "a momentous accomplishment."

Master the craft of effective communication that grabs attention and wins hearts.
Like everyone else, preachers long to be understood. Unfortunately, the rules first learned in seminary, if misapplied, can quickly turn homiletic precision into listener boredom.
To capture heart and mind, Mark Galli and Craig Larsen suggest preachers turn to the lessons of journalism. In Preaching That Connects, they show how the same keys used to create effective, captivating communication in the media can transform a sermon.
Amply illustrated from some of today's best preachers, Preaching That Connects walks through the entire sermon, from the critical introduction to the bridge to illustrations and final application. Key points include the five techniques for generating creative ideas, your six options for illustrations, and the ten rules for great storytelling-and why the transition sentence is the hardest sentence you'll write.
Preaching That Connects is for all who seek to hone their craft to communicate the truth of the gospel effectively.
