Extended description

Preaching to the Core is a book about God’s design in the individual. It is well known that without the empowerment of the Spirit preachers can accomplish little. It is not well known just how empowerment transpires from the heart of God to the hearts of individuals.

Divine design is not only a topic of interest to preachers and pastors. Many people are interested in how mankind was specifically designed to comprehend just how the individual functions best, to the development of an “ordered personality.”

Review by: Bruce Baker on March 16, 2013 :
I'm not sure I'd call this a book. It is obviously a thesis or dissertation. The language is such that it is certainly a formal discourse representing a tremendous amount of research. The going back and forth between the two part man and the three part man seems cumbersome. The topic is most interesting and well presented. It does make me want to say "NO" the next time I am asked to preach. It is very well done and appreciated.
