The Four Pages of the Sermon: A Guide to Biblical Preaching

Rating:
Summary: Inspiring
Review: I have found Dr. Wilson's method compelling, his arguments and theology of preaching sound. I have committed myself to try his plan for awhile and check the results. However, I would recommend this book to any preacher, even if you are perfectly satisfied with your own preaching and don't see a need to change. For how often do you get to hear great sermons? More than anything, I found The Four Pages of the Sermon an extended sermon written just for me, inspiring me with a solid message of Gospel truth. Both in the instructive sections and the sermon excerpts, I felt myself bathed in the Light of God's Grace and often moved to tears. So, yes, it's a great preaching text, but I'd recommend it as well as a meditation for preachers who need reminding of what they are to be about.

Summary: Unquestionably the best sermon preparation tool available
Review: The author has uncovered the most profound method of preparing sermons. This is not so much a how to manual, as a "tool" which immediately changes your approach to sermon preparation. Sunday School Teachers, too, can utilize this "tool". I've shared this with several other pastors. They concur with my opinions.

Review: This is not a book for light Saturday-night reading, nor is it a book that most Christians would appreciate. But. . . for the pastor or preacher that is wanting to discover a method for communicating God's timeless truths and making them relevant and applicable in today's society - this book is worth the effort. I found that I had to re-read some sections and work at it so as not to fall back into old habits. I would suggest trying to read it while on a vacation, holiday or sabbatical and then taking some time to try and implement the methods described. The author shows how to tie togther the people, problems and God's actions in the Bible to the people, problems and our expected actions and God's continuing actions today.
