Ed Stetzer is an experienced church planter who did research for the North American Mission Board (NAMB) at the time that he wrote the book, and now does research for LifeWay Christian Resources and also consults with NAMB. David Putman is also an experienced church planter.

A tremendous amount of issues are put on the table and you will truly learn alot from this book. Well researched, careful scholarship and a well read author who is indeed conservative, but not a fundamentalist. The only quibble I have with this work is ...

Winfred Corduan

A very good and concrete introduction to apologetics

Preaching on Your Feet: Connecting God and The Audience in the Preachable Moment2 reviews
Fred R. Lybrand
B&H Academic, 2008
A must-read for preachers
What is the best way to preach? To use notes -- even to the point of reading a sermon -- or not to use notes? Fred Lybrand, a Southern Baptist preacher who seems to be cutting his own path, opts for the "not to use notes" approach in his new, useful, handy, clear book Preaching on Your Feet . I should perhaps tell my own story before I go any further.
What do you think? I'm keen on hearing ...

This grammar works very well as a training tool for teaching or studying basic NT Greek. Each lesson is laid out very logically with enough work to help you develop your skill without overwhelming you.
The methodology is very simple. Vocabulary with a simple point and some memorization work to help you grasp the concept for that lesson.
It is easier to teach through than other basic ...
