PREACHING WITH BALANCE
By Donald L. Hamilton
Mentor. 416 pages
ISBN 978-1-84550-265-2

This book is intended for those who preach regularly to the same congregation. The author holds the Stephen Olford Chair of Biblical Preaching at Columbia Biblical Seminary. His thesis is that, ‘while perfection in preaching is an illusive dream, improvement is within the grasp of virtually everyone’.

This lengthy book has seven chapters dealing with maintaining balance in theological and personal perspectives, biblical foundations and preaching purpose, sermon variety, content and delivery. It also has four appendices, two covering planning an annual preaching programme and a sermon series and two on sermon evaluation from tape and video.
