Endorsements

"The Bible is not a book of practical suggestions on how to live a better adjusted life. The Bible is a revelation of God. The Supremacy of God in Preaching reminds preachers of what we easily forget to our peril and the peril of the people in our care." -- Haddon Robinson

"Calls us back to a biblical standard for preaching, a standard exemplified by many of the pulpit giants of the past, especially Jonathan Edwards and Charles Spurgeon." -- Warren W. Wiersbe

"John Piper passionately and prophetically calls all preachers to make God supreme over any method and in every message. The plan is too simple for a fallen world to notice and too powerful for a faithful preacher to ignore." -- Bryan Chapell

"The Supremacy of God in Preaching is one of the few truly indispensable books on gospel ministry." -- Philip Graham Ryken

"Occasionally, among the myriads of books for ministers, a work appears so seminal to the preacher's calling that it can safely be said: 'This is a must-read.' The Supremacy of God in Preaching is such a book." -- Sinclair B. Ferguson

"Here's a book that every preacher should read at least once a year. This book is a powerful antidote to the unbalanced, self-centered preaching of today." -- Erwin W. Lutzer
