GoodBookStall Review:
This book is a festschrift that is a publication honouring a respected person and presented to them during their lifetime. The man in question is Canon Peter Adam, the Evangelical Anglican who is currently Principal of Ridley Melbourne College, Australia. The 12 chapters have been written by pastors and theologians from around the world.
This is a book for preachers. It is subtitled Windows on Preaching and Ministry for good reason. Half of the book is made up of articles discussing how to preach from various books of the Bible. The other half is more general contributions on the subject of preaching.
I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the 10 commandments, the judgement of God and Charles Simeon but there is food for thought all through the book.
The editors have done an excellent job in giving the book a cohesive feel. The articles complement each other even though written by different people. Those who love God’s word and love preaching from God’s word will enjoy reading this.
