Book excerpt: The focus of the Bible is not successful living. It's not successful churches. It's not family or co-dependency or self-esteem. And yet Sunday after Sunday, millions of Americans sit and listen to "therapeutic" or market-driven preaching. They hear sermons aimed at resolving emotional needs or attracting the seeker. They walk away inspired to solve their problems or to consult their Bibles a little more often, perhaps, but they never see Christ. They miss the Christ whose life, death, and resurrection affect every aspect of their existence. They need the King of Glory -- and preaching centered solely on Christ that recaptures the wonder of his holiness. These writings by pastors from a variety of backgrounds will help other leaders recapture their focus and remind them of their needs as ministers of the gospel. This book goes beyond theory to practically prepare pastors for God's work. - Publisher.
