"The reality is clear: Preaching--the practice of publicly expositing the Bible--has fallen on hard times. He is Not Silent analyzes this decline of expository preaching and then goes on to argue, in a style both commanding and encouraging, that preaching must not continue to wane. Drawing from such passages as Deuteronomy 4 and Ezekiel 37, Dr. Mohler lays the groundwork for preaching, fans the flame on the glory of preaching, and issues the urgent call for preaching. In short, he portrays preaching as a confrontation with God. This message is desperately needed yet not often heard. Whether you're concerned or enthused about the state of the church today, join Dr. Mohler as he examines preaching and why the church can't survive without it."--Jacket cover.
