Called to Preach

Fulfilling the High Calling of Expository Preaching

By: Steven J. Lawson

Narrated by: Lyle Blaker

In every generation, the church stands in dire need of God-called people to preach the word with precision and power. Preachers who will not replace sound theology with culturally palatable soundbites. Preachers who will clearly and faithfully share the gospel and inspire those in their churches to live godly lives.

Through in-depth biblical analysis and inspiring examples from church history, Steven J. Lawson paints a picture of God's glory magnified through faithful preaching, reclaiming the high ground of biblical preaching for the next generation. With helpful advice and practical guidance gleaned from 50 years in ministry, Lawson helps aspiring preachers know if they are called to preach; understand the qualifications for ministry; and develop, improve, and deliver strong expository sermons that illuminate the word of God in a dark world.

A Mini Seminary

Almost the same material as taught in Dr. Lawson's expository preaching seminar, but nonetheless just as valuable. A wonderful refresher or primer to those of us "called to preach". A brilliant teacher sharing his knowledge of what every pastor needs to know. A must read for all who are called.

Challenge of the Gospel

It is a clear and concise challenge to live a life of Holiness if you are called to preach for the salvation of souls.

Honestly.

This is the GREATEST audio book I have ever listened to… except for 1 other (of course☺️🙏 📖) I submitted to Gods call to preach later in life this year 2022. I am 44 yrs old, a husband, father of 3 boys (all living at home) and my mother lives with us. We are a single income family and I have worked for the same company for the past 17 years. Im currently preaching from the pulpit at my church about once every other month. My time to prepare messages is very limited and I’ve been burdened about what to do.

This book has given me profound insight that I didn’t know or understand. Thank you Dr Lawson for patiently working through and writing a book that is a biblical guide to rightly handling Gods Word. 2 Timothy 2:15

Please pray for me. It is a heavy-laden call and knowing the only way to make more time would be to leave my career.

To all who read this… I sincerely thank you for your prayers.

Excellent work

In the pages of Called to Preach, Steven Lawson has articulated precious truths of the high calling of preaching the Word of God. I listened to and read this book in an effort to inform my thinking during a search for our church to find a new pastor. It was not only immensely helpful in reorienting my mind on the task at hand but refreshing balm for my soul as well. Praise God for men like Steven Lawson who prize the Word of God.

A great resource for preachers!

This book is a must read for anyone seeking to obey the call to preach. the Author provides profitable biblical wisdom and basic principles to initiate those who seek to preach in a good path to faithful expository preaching. this book must be read a least once a year . seasoned and novice preachers will benefit from this book

Gripping, appreciative

I have a new found respect for the pastors who labor so intensively as is laid out in this book. Even if I don’t become a pastor, I will certainly glean from it practical applications to teaching and sharing the word of God. Intriguing, thorough, engaging.

Excellent resource. Very encouraging

This will certainly be a quick resource I’ll use in the years to come. I read it through twice and was greatly encouraged each time. I can’t wait to read through the biographies of saints of old that were recommended in the book.

Phenomenal

A must read for every preacher and every man considering the call to pastoral ministry.

A Must Read

Outstanding and thorough writing. Steven Lawson does an excellent job making the calling understandable.

Great book on how to preach and why.

Great book for men that are wondering if they have a call of God to preach in the Christian Church. As well, it covers not just the fundamentals of the preparation required before you begin to preach, but also the life long commitment to preach Biblically with rigorous, regular study of the Bible. Lawson also a gives strong admonition to make sure the the preacher lives a life of holiness and filling the teachings of scripture. I highly recommend this book.

Sincerely,
Pastor Paul Trimble
