“One of our best loved preacher-theologians, Alec Motyer, applies his customary wisdom, wit and clarity to provide a practical but inspiring introduction to the task of preaching.

“Alec Motyer is a man of the Bible. His love and understanding for the Scriptures, that was instilled in him from a very young age spills out in his writings and also in his recent book, Preaching?: Simple Teaching on Simply Preaching. Alec has done a fantastic job in making preaching as simple as the title suggests. The main point that stands out throughout the book is that preaching is uncomplicated, but requires work, and hard work. The work is not only in the preparation, but also the behavior and the spirituality of the preacher....The book is very helpful to both the novice as well as the veteran preacher. I highly recommend the book.”

“Alec Motyer once said of Allan Harman's commentary on Isaiah, 'His work has made me wish wholeheartedly that I could start all over again.' And Alec's succinct and stirring treatise on preaching makes me wish wholeheartedly that I could start all over again-in that blessed privilege of preaching, praying and pastoring.”

“Given the content, readability and insights which Alec Motyer's book contains and the primacy of preaching combined with the present day abdication of confidence in the divinely ordained instrumentality of faithful expository public preaching of God's Word, this book is a "must" for preachers and for those who want to understand preaching and encourage preachers.”

“I have frequently attended Bible conferences to hear an accom- plished expositor and, after my soul was fed by his preaching, I wanted to sit with him and have a conversation about how he did it. To what extent does he consult commentaries? How much does he think about illustrations? If the text has three common interpretations, does he tell the congregation all three, or just the one he thinks correct? And how much of what he does relies on creativity as opposed to merely restating the text? Is application necessary in the sermon?Unashamed Workmen is like looking into the mind and over the shoulder of ten master expositors as they prepare, and then sitting in the audience as they deliver the fruits of their labors. The beauty of this project is that the reader can get answers, clearly noticing the differences of style and approach between the authors and yet also the one thing they hold in common: the primacy of the text.”

“I love touring the workshops of craftsmen, examining the tools, the sights, the sounds, the materials and the procedures that result in works of beauty and utility. Dodson gives us just such a tour of the workshops of talented preachers, enabling us to look over the shoulders of these master craftsmen of proclaimed truth in order to learn how we might produce messages reflecting the beauty and utility of their sermons.”

“In this valuable contribution to the art and science of preaching, Rhett Dodson has assembled a team of world-class expositors, each providing a sample sermon together with a fascinating fly- on-the-wall look at the preparation methods that produced them. While sometimes revealing the methodological idiosyncrasies of the preacher, the different approaches to sermon preparation nevertheless display a reassuring degree of overlap, driving home the point that, though personality, cultural context, and stylistic preferences may vary widely, faithful exposition will always aim at common goals (faithfulness to the text in its context, the nurture of believers, the conversion of the lost, the exaltation of God). Practical and encouraging, this volume will undoubtedly further the development of faithful preachers and faithful preaching, all to the glory and praise of the Lord.”

“This is a great book. It brings together diverse and complement- ary voices from experienced expository preachers who are thoroughly committed to the Gospel. It is not a textbook. Its strength and freshness depend on the sweep of voices. This is not so much a book for students as for preachers a book to savor, reading a chapter or two, then a few weeks later another chapter or two, and so on, so as to refresh your vision and practice.”
