"A must read for all who preach and all who listen." -John MacArthur Preaching and Hearing God's Word provides a biblically robust and elevated theology of preaching. The word of God is critical to the believer's spiritual growth and the preached word is normally the most potent and powerful expression of its ministry. If the believer is to appropriate its full sanctifying potential, then effective listening is of immense importance. This requires action on the part of the hearer before, during, and after the moment of preaching. As such, Preaching and Hearing God's Word also equips the hearer to listen well, with a view to the building up of the body of Christ.

The book explores the concept of thought-reading, distinguishing between Musculation (muscle reading) and traditional mind-reading. It delves into the nuances of these practices, offering insights and explanations that go beyond common public perceptions. While it covers thought-reading extensively, it also touches on related topics, providing a comprehensive view of the subject as an intriguing form of entertainment.
