"There is a price to pay by being in the ministry," says Henry L. Knight, author of What is Preaching? "One must always be ready to preach!"

Pastor Knight has written this book to stimulate the minds of those preachers and teachers who are called by God to deliver the Word of God everywhere they go. His philosophy is to remind these special souls of the great opportunity available to them to speak of the life everlasting to everyone who will listen.

The author quotes II Timothy 2:15: "One must always 'Study to show thyself approved unto God.'" Furthermore, Pastor Knight encourages those who would preach and teach by saying, "When we stand behind the sacred desk, we have a charge from God to 'herald' the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is good news to the listener. Jesus said, 'I have come that they might I life.' (St. John 10:10) People want to hear how they can get rid of their aches and pains and when the Gospel is preached, the Holy Spirit fills the scene as the presence of the Son, exalting and revealing the Father."

Inspirational and educational, Henry L. Knight's What is Preaching? is all these ideals and more.
