'...both readable and extremely helpful. Michael wonderfully affirms Biblical preaching and does not allow cultural fads to diminish our confidence in God's promise to save men and women through the "foolishness of preaching," he does point out the appropriate ways to connect to the culture without being conformed by it.'
Harry L. Reeder III, (1948 – 2023) Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama

Some have lingered long after the services in a spirit of prayer. And still others have been moved to confession of sin and to seek counselling for help in troubled areas of their lives' Others have left the church!
Ten of the twenty chapters in this thoroughly commendable book refer to Christological, ecclesiastical, missiological, doctrinal, and ethical themes, with a strong appeal for preaching with deliberate balance. But the first step in revitalisation is said to be a discovery of Christ and what he has done. Then the flame of love for him which burns in the heart of the preacher will ignite the church with similar devotion. According to this book there is real hope for dying churches. This much needed news is worth reading"Timothy Alford, Stowmarket, Grace Magazine, January 2007
