 How to Speak a Sermon by Trotter - 9.5/10 ....simply one of the best books on preaching out there.  Think this is some pragmatic book about mere technique or gaining an audience seeker-friendly style?  Think again!  This book is not to be missed.  



The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition by Ryken and O'Donnell - 9.5/10  ...the high mark here is due, for me personally, to the "practical" section that comprises roughly half of each chapter (the second half of each chapter).  This is an important and very helpful book.  


3 Volume Commentary on the Psalms by Ross (Kregel) - 9/10 ...I really like this work.  What a joy to own and use.  Perhaps it could be more Christ-focused.   However, it is of superb quality.  


From Prisoner to Prince (NSBT) by Emadi - 8.6/10     I have not read every page of this book.  It is good and suggestive for teachers.  



Providence by Piper - 9.2/10    So far, I am using this book as a help in preaching OT "providence" sections.  The sections that I have consulted are clear--very clear--and most helpful! 


For the Glory by Hamilton (about Eric Liddell) - 9/10       Get it! 


Three Views on Israel and the Church edited by Compton and Naselli - 8.5/10    Good!   Merkle's chapter is intriguing.  


Exodus by Duane Garrett - 9/10      So far, it is both clear and helpful; these qualities don't happen/emerge without much hard work.  


Preaching Christ from Genesis by Greidanus - 9.3/10     What a gift this book is.
