By Warren Wiersbe

Warren Wiersbe was a pastor, writer and speaker who immersed himself in all things preaching – preachers, biographies of preachers, books of sermons, books on preaching, and more.

This book is the first of two books in which he includes short sketches of preachers. This first volume includes 18 sketches of preachers. And then there’s a Part 2 including classic books on the ministry. Part 2 includes chapters such as: Histories of Preaching, Books of Sermons, Christian Classics, Books about the Ministry, and more. This Part 2 section is fine, but the biographical sketches are better.

I’m amazed at how much Wiersbe apparently read on preaching and preachers, especially considering the fact that he apparently re-read so many books. Some he regularly re-read.

It’s not a great volume, but it is a helpful volume for the student of preaching.
