"Good books on preaching are many. Great ones are few. I regard this one among the great." --Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
Expository preaching has been on the rise over the last five decades, with more and more pastors preaching carefully from the Scriptures. However, not all pastors make it their aim to preach through whole books of the Bible, let alone to preach the entire Bible to their congregations. But the people of God need the whole counsel of God to grow to full maturity in Christ. Authors Tim Patrick and Andrew Reid present the bold case for whole-Bible preaching and supply the necessary tools so that all pastors can progress toward this goal.

Expository preaching has been on the rise over the last five decades, with more and more pastors preaching through entire books of the Bible systematically. But few, if any, preachers have a long-term plan to teach *every* book of the Bible over a lifetime of ministry. Since the whole Bible is God's Word to his people, all of Scripture is important for congregations to hear in order to grow as Christians. Written to make a case for the necessity of a long-term plan for preaching through the entire Bible instead of just randomly through individual books, this is not a book on how to preach, but rather on how to plan and prepare long-range preaching programs through the whole counsel of God.

The Whole Counsel of God: Why and How to Preach the Entire Bible$29.99
A convincing book on the need to preach the whole counsel of God. Teaching Scripture and proclaiming Christ through all of Scripture to the church week by week is good and right. Andrew and Tim recognise that God has given us a book filled with various genres and different human authors yet inspired by the Holy Spirit. Every pastor needs to equip God's children to understand God through his inspired Word, to enjoy God and eager to know him. By God's grace this will bring about motivation to speak of Jesus and his good news to all people, to praise God for his glorious grace.
Tim and Andrew advocate for a 10 year preaching plan or more to consider what parts of the Bible are covered so that the church is learning from all of Scripture, shaped by God's Word not a preacher's preference.
I'm keen to implement what Andrew and Tim suggest and I reckon what they describe will mean more people are keen to serve Jesus, know him and love him with all their heart.
