“Witty! Practical! Must reading for the pastor interested in improving his preaching.Simple enough for the beginner, but stimulating and challenging for the experienced pastor.”

—Ken Hemphill, Empowering Kingdom Growth, strategic director, Southern Baptist Convention

“I was surprised at Professor Bugg's willingness to share so much of himself: his fears as well as his faith, his failures as well as his successes, his doubts as well as his certainties, his demons as well as his angels. But such is the mark of a teacher. ”

—Fred B Craddock, Professor Emeritus, Chandler School of Theology, Emory University
