"If Donald Sunukjian writes something about preaching, I read it. He is a master at understanding how ideas work and how to develop them. If your messages have ever been less than crystal clear, read what he has to say." -Craig Brian Larson Editor, PreachingToday.com "Filled with examples, appended with helpful samples, and written in the vernacular of the people, Invitation to Biblical Preachingwill take its rightful place among the homiletics textbooks of our classrooms and in the stacks of refreshing readings for experienced pastors." -G. Charles Sackett Professor of Preaching Lincoln Christian Seminary "Invitation to Biblical Preaching guides readers with proven principles stated in a fresh way. If every seasoned preacher will study this book and every novice take it as a primer, our pulpits would resound with a clear and authoritative, 'Here is what God is saying . . . to us.'" -Calvin Pearson E.
