Reformed Preaching: Proclaiming God's Word From the Heart of the Preacher to the Heart of His People

The book is broken into three parts: Part 1 discussed what Reformed preaching is; essentially, expositional and experiential preaching that is doctrinal, experimental and practical. Or in other words, from head to heart. Part 2 looks at Reformed preaching in a practical way by providing a brief biography of select preachers from the 16th century up to the 20th century and briefly analysing their sermons, but also how some preached and emphasised particular doctrines. Part 3 focused on particular exhortations from following the thrust of the text and its emphasis to preaching holiness in a balanced manner, etc. \\n\\nOverall, the book was solid in content. However, some parts were dragged out too long unnecessarily or they were too repetitive. The book is also clearly intended for beginners; however, refreshing for those more seasoned in homiletics.

This is an excellent book. It was a joy to read. \\nIt is split into three sections which are quite distinct. \\nI very much enjoyed the 2nd second which focused on various preachers and how they preached. \\nBeeke writes very clearly, naturally and pastorally. This truly does present the every aspect of what preaching should be like.

A comprehensive book on what reformed preaching is. I love how it reminds me of the centrality of preaching. Also, it differentiates between preaching to the head and to the heart. \\nHalf of this book illustrates what reformed experiential preaching is by showing people in church history that embodied this type of preaching. From Zwingli, Calvin, Bunyan, and others. \\nI find this book to be a good reminder for me as a preacher on what is important: preach Christ from my heart to the heart of God's people.
