"The pulpit mocked him. Rooted and immovable, like an old-growth Douglas Fir it stood its defiant ground. Hand-built by some forgotten craftsman, this pulpit had served many a preacher. The shouters and the shriekers; the pounders and the pleaders, had all found shelter and a certain authority behind its imposing bulk. Its topside edges oiled and smoothed by the uncalloused hands of countless preachers bore witness to its durability. 'I was here before you, and I'll be here long after you are gone,' it taunted.
The arrogant pulpit intimidated its present occupant. The Reverend Jackson Newman was feeling the pressure. Sensing the ghosts of preachers past he felt small and transparent whenever he took his place behind this 'sacred desk'. He couldn't find the expect punch. The authority necessary to dynamic preaching had long since excaped him. His sermons were no match for this tradition-steeped pulpit. It was only a matter of time."
"I couldn't put it down." Scott M. Gibson, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton, MA
"Contrary to what some people claim, the postmodern turn does not spell the end of solid, biblical preaching. But if preaching is to retain its power in the emerging context, preachers may well need to change. Here, Kenton Anderson charts the way forward. He advocates an approach that initegrates the cognitive focus, that characterized modern homiletics, with the affectivee and behavioural emphases, so important in the contemporary situation. And he tells a good story in the process." Stanley J. Grenz, Carey Theological College and Regent College, Vancouver, BC
"I had the rare privilege of seeing a commentary on this book as it was being written. Kenton Anderson may well be the next creative voice that evangelicals have been waiting for. His work always demonstrates a keen interest in the direction of preaching. There is always room for a new talent in homiletics. I believe that Kenton is one of those. I heartily commend this book." Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School, Birmingham, AL
"At first he thought it was a train. Jack Newman lived near the tracks. He was accustomed to feeling the foundations quiver whenever a heavily loaded train would pass through his back yard. He often wondered how his home held together given all the jarring.
But this was no train. That became obvious as he watched the curtains dance, the books on his shelf tumble, and the hallway mirror come crashing to the floor. This was an earthquake. Not a big one, mind you. The mirror had always been a little wonky. It was one of those things he had never got around to fixing. Too late now. It was over as soon as it started. The damage was minor. The house settled back into its accustomed fixedness. Nothing to worry about. No harm done. So why did it leave him feeling so unsettled? Why the uneasy feeling in his stomach? It had been some time since Jack had felt this way. He didn't like it."
"This book will be of great service to the Church of our Lord. Thank you for writing it." Craig Brian Larson, PreachingToday.com
"A fresh perspective on a tough aspect of preaching, namely our own humanity... This book is sobering, challenging, and refreshing. If your experience is like mine, you will read Preaching with Integrity quickly but forget it only slowly - if at all." Grant Lovejoy, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"An excellent model of integrative preaching... I highly recommend this volume for those desiring a fresh approach at delivering the biblical message." Alex Montoya, Author of Preaching with Passion.
