As often happens when I'm at various conferences, several guys approached the Banner book tables earlier this week in northeast Pennsylvania, saw a certain book, and shared its signific

three-volume paperback abridged set with me, but Banner of course also has the

The Imperative of Preaching," by John Carrick at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. "The best book I've ever seen on the subject," was the comment.
