{ "item_title" : "The High View of Preaching", "item_author" : [" Victor Pentz "], "item_description" : "Here is just about the best book we have on preaching as a divinely initiated and authorized gift of God to the church.WILLIAM WILLIMON, author of Accidental Preacher: A Memoir Preaching is not a performance. It's a miracle. In a time when sermons are measured by charisma, creativity, and crowd response, The High View of Preaching calls us back to something far greater: the living Christ speaking to His people through His Word. After more than fifty years in the pulpit-and nearly walking away from ministry altogether-Victor Pentz exposes the hidden burden many pastors carry: the crushing belief that everything depends on them. The result? Anxiety. Burnout. Exhaustion. A subtle shift from worship to performance. There is a better way. With theological depth and pastoral honesty, Pentz contrasts the low view of preaching-where the sermon is merely a speech about God-with the high view, where preaching becomes a living encounter initiated by God Himself. In these pages you'll discover: - Why preaching was never meant to depend on your talent- How the Holy Spirit brings real transformation-not just information- A vision of preaching that restores joy, humility, and confidence- Practical wisdom for pastors and fresh ears for listeners This book is for weary pastors, engaged church members, and anyone convinced the Word of God still carries power. When preaching is rightly understood, the burden lifts. The pressure fades. The focus shifts back where it belongs. Jesus is in the room. And that changes everything. VICTOR PENTZ is pastor emeritus of Peachtree Church in Atlanta and a longtime Presbyterian pastor, preacher, and teacher. A Princeton and Fuller Seminary graduate, he has ministered nationally and internationally, contributed widely to preaching publications, and remains committed to encouraging pastors. He is married to Becky, and they have three daughters and eight grandchildren.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/62/586/353/1625863535_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
