7/10 (good): A helpful book that argues for the importance of expository preaching in evangelism. It also covers most of the useful ground of general evangelistic preaching in a helpful way — everything from explaining sin, the usefulness of humour and illustrations, to making an invitation. At times it's a little repetitive and the writing lacks flair, so sometimes it felt a bit of a slog. But it's down-to-earth and practical, and there are a fair few pithy quotes and illustrations scattered throughout that will be useful. There aren't many practical books on evangelistic expository preaching, so for that reason alone, it's worthwhile. ( )
