PREACHING CHRIST
By Charles P. McIlvaine
Banner of Truth. 86 pages. £4.50
ISBN 0 85151 831 1

Buy this for your minister. It won't cost much more than two coffees and it might do him more good. It is brief enough that he will actually read it and straightforward enough that he will grasp its message. The message is that Christ is the message.

McIlvaine was a 19th-century Episcopalian calling American preachers to return to the centrality of Jesus Christ, his person, office and saving work. To this short book is added an apposite Spurgeon sermon on Acts 5.42. Both are biblical and relevant, although the Spurgeon piece packs the more punch.
