There probably is no higher calling than being invited by God to teach and preach His Word. It is a remarkable privilege to be chosen and anointed by Almighty God to be His messenger. However, along with the great privilege comes a great responsibility. We need to be as accurate and as effective as possible in our communication on behalf of God.
The main points that are presented in this book culminate in sort of a repetitive description of what it is that a person does when they take on the task of teaching others.
It is my prayer that the reader will find the materials interesting and useful. And, that the application of the information will enable you to do a more effective job in teaching God’s Word.
