Prayer and Preaching  by 
Karl Barth

Pray and Preaching depicts Karl Barth’s characteristic union of simplicity and profoundness in a wonderful manner. The pages curate the Word from the Lord for revitalizing the Church today. Based on a couple of series of informal lectures that Bath attended; the first lecture he studied is a Christian prayer, particularly the Lord’s Prayer interested by Luther and Calvin whereas the second lecture ventures into the field of practical theology, exploring and discussing the vital characteristics of preaching and methods of preparing a sermon. The influence of the marriage of these studies is evident in the tone of this little book. The book comments on the trust the preachers put in the Scripture and being a notable figure and author himself, the writer remains humble when proclaiming the Word of God. Barth states that even Christians who are not responsible for composing sermons do have the responsibility of hearing God.

Evangelism Ministry

Evangelismy by 
Steven Elzinga

“Evangelism Ministry;every Sunday morning, millions of believers gather to celebrate God’s presence in their lives. Far fewer return to their homes and workplaces and share that incredible relationship with other people. The common “”sales pitch”” model of evangelism has made talking about God appealing to only a few personality types.

What can be done to return evangelism to the lips of average Christians? The first step is to recognize that the Christian faith is less about a particular set of principles and more about being in a relationship with God.

Basics of Bible Interpretation

Bible Study by 
Robert Smith

This is a study book. If you do not have your Bible side by side with it as you study you will miss much of its value. The format I have used is simple. I have cited principles by which one can interpret the Scriptures, and then I have illustrated the use of those principles to analyze a portion of scripture. You will want to follow my an alysis step by step in your own Bible to really appreciate what I’m trying to do.
