Dr. Wayne B. Murdock is a methodical student of the scriptures and a mesmerizing preacher of the Gospel. His approach to the "sweet torture" of preaching is artistic in form, captivating in tone, piercing in intellect, meticulous in manner and altogether compelling in its effect. As a professor of preaching, I have often described preaching as the Word of God projected through the unique prism of human personality. Therefore, I can say without fear of successful contradiction that the divine alchemy of God and nature have acted to assure that there never has been, nor will there ever be, another preacher exactly like Dr. Murdock. True to his unselfish character and generous nature, Dr. Murdock has gone to great measures to assure that through the offering of this book, the gift of his preaching will remain as ageless as the Gospel he so eloquently preaches.Dr. James R.
