Trim new edition of a modern evangelical classic on preaching
Internationally esteemed as an expository preacher and evangelical spokesman, John Stott edified thousands of Christian preachers and listeners during his lifetime. His writings, marked by a special clarity of expression, continue to speak to readers around the world.
This book abridges and revises the text of Stott's Between Two Worlds: The Challenge of Preaching Today, first published in 1982, and updates it for our twenty-first-century context. Through Greg Scharf's abridging and updating work, John Stott's perspectives and insights on faithful, relevant preaching of the Word of God will benefit a new generation of preachers and preachers-to-be.

"Every preacher should read this book!"
Alistair Begg
— senior pastor of Parkside Church, Cleveland
"It is hard to improve upon a classic, but Greg Scharf has done it here. With due respect to his mentor and without losing the taste of the original, he has added flavor to Stott's text and enhanced its appeal for a new generation of preachers."
Bryan Chapell
— author of Christ-Centered Preaching
"I know of no book that better unites pastoral practice and preaching advice than John Stott's original Between Two Worlds. Inevitably the analogies and allusions of such a classic become dated, so I welcome this updated and retitled version that, under the expert hand of Greg Scharf, is designed to make Stott's wisdom and heart reach the next generation of biblical preachers."
