Publisher's Description

"'What do you recommend on preaching?' is a frequently asked question that can be answered in a variety of ways. There is always much to learn and there are many books to help us. But whatever else a preacher reads, J.C. Ryle's little masterpiece Simplicity in Preaching is a "must read". Ryle packs more experience and sanctified common sense into two dozen pages than many others manage in a lengthy treatise. And, like all of his work, this one illustrates the very simplicity he commends to others. Here indeed is a work whose value and usefulness is out of all proportion to its length." - Sinclair B. Ferguson

Endorsement

J.C. Ryle provides another solid work with this exposition of his view of preaching. In his powerful and direct style Ryle gives great principles and pointers for preachers of the Word of God. I highly recommend this fairly short read for anyone studying preaching or preaching on a regular basis.
