Missing Notes In Preaching  A. N. Martin

Paul said, "I have kept back nothing that was profitable unto you&for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." But preachers in our day are keeping back some of the more unpleasant aspects of God's truth. Pastor Martin identifies four of these missing notes. His sermons will help listeners to judge what they are hearing, and will aid pastors in evaluating their message according to the Bible.
