The preacher will find it exegetically sound yet filled with illustrations and insights. The lay person will find it comprehendible and useful for exploring ultimate issues within the context of meaningful Bible study.
(The) sermons are fleshed out in normal, everyday language, grammar, and sentence structure -- Yet the faithful preacher can take comfort in the fact that they are backed up by sound biblical exegesis.
