'It is not possible to preach on the great men of the Bible without speaking practical and timely truths to the people and in a way that everyone will understand. The great advantage of such preaching is that you summon these men themselves into the pulpit and permit them to preach for you. Abraham preaches on faith, Elijah on righteousness, Samuel on judgement to come, David on temptation, and Peter on repentance. Every chord in the great harp of the Gospel is struck by the preacher who preaches on the great men of the Bible.'
Dr Macartney has been called 'The Master of Biographical Preaching.' These sermons will deepen the reader's appreciation of the lessons to be drawn from his examination of these great lives.
