Endorsements

“David Helm has written the most helpful, concise, and useful book on expository preaching I have ever read.” 
--Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Dallas, Texas

“If I were teaching a preaching class and could assign the students only one book, this might be the one. It’s a rare find that both introduces a topic to the novice and instructs the experienced.”
--Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC

“Helm has given us a finely wrought and utterly compelling brief on what needs to be understood and done in order to faithfully preach the Word. This is an important book.”
