God's Word is powerful, and when preached clearly and applied
pertinently it can change lives. Yet preaching does not always have this
impact; preachers concerned merely with teaching information can leave
congregations unmoved, and those who sacrifice substance for relevance
skimp on the power of the text. To truly change those who hear it,
preaching must blend biblical faithfulness and insightful application
together. Murray Capill helps all preachers who want to change lives to
make their preaching wholly applicable, avoiding the pitfalls of
tacked-on application. He takes preachers through the living application
preaching process - moving the Word of God, via the life of the
preacher, to the lives of the hearers - and gives them the tools to
systematically explore the application potential of any text. He himself
applies this teaching to any preacher's situation by showing how it
works out in some of the specific challenges and situations of
preaching.
