1.		Firm Foundations "a glimpse into the mind and heart of someone who expounds Scripture well in his setting. Like a good sermon illustration, the specificity of this book, with its many introductions and outlines, helps us who preach imagine how we could craft our sermons and sermon series that are equally faithful to Scripture."

2.		Kindled Fire 'Zack Eswine has blessed all who care about preaching by giving us something we need--a down-to-earth theology of preaching made vivid by the exceptional life, ministry, and thought of Charles Haddon Spurgeon. Spurgeon's quest to let the Bible itself shape his preaching and the Holy Spirit give it power supplies a timely paradigm for those of us who preach today. Eswine's well- documented treatment of the subject distills Spurgeon's intentional practice in a way that promises to challenge, convict, instruct, but especially to encourage us to keep preaching in the confident expectation that God will speak when we preach in ways that reflect how he has spoken to us.'

4.		Pastoring the Pastor "I could scarcely put this book down as I relived the pitfalls and missteps of the early days of pastoral ministry, but then the glories of wisdom, perseverance, and hope that gradually emerges. No matter what your pastoral setting, this book will help you get - or stay - on the paths of righteousness."
