Description
How wonderful it would be, says Stuart Olyott in the introduction to
this book, ‘if Christian preachers throughout the world were ministering
like their Master!’ Drawing on examples of Christ’s preaching from
the Gospels, Olyott challenges preachers today with three features of
their Master’s ministry.
Christ’s style and method were not boring, but gripping. Christ’s preaching was
evangelistic. Christ’s ministry was more than just preaching: his whole life was
ministry.
In a fresh, compelling, and practical way, Olyott guides preachers away from some
of the perils and pitfalls that could hinder their success. In so doing, he shows us just
how essential Christ’s example is to those who seek to minister in his name today.
