"Mohler makes a strong case for bold expositional preaching. Having suffered through my share of "pithy points that come together in a staple outline form", I long for such preaching. I hope and pray that more of today's pastors will love and revere the Word more than their own paraphrase of it."

" I gave four stars because it starts very slow to me. I had to get to chapter 3 before I really began to enjoy this book. If you start reading it and are bored, I encourage you to keep going. It gets better and is worth trudging through. "
— Christosopher, 1/11/2014" Mohler overstates his case on a number of points. "
— Demetrius, 1/7/2014" Awesome book! A must read for sure! "
— Jordan, 12/25/2013" I'm reading my autographed copy. "
— Caleb, 10/26/2013" Good book...not my favorite about preaching, but a good one yet still "
— Jim, 8/20/2013" Excellent book! Very encouraging and insightful. To every pastor - proclaimer of God's Word - I would say, "Read Albert Mohler, Jr.'s 'He Is Not Silent.'" "
— Michael, 4/10/2013" Cogent and delightful. "
— Douglas, 3/9/2013" Excellent book! The act of preaching the Word has been downplayed and/or redefined so much that this book was a refreshing reminder about what Biblical preaching is and why it is necessary. I especially liked the chapter on Charles Spurgeon that Mohler concluded the book with. "
— Daniel, 9/5/2012" Excellent. Strong emphasis on the need for expository preaching "
— J., 11/28/2011" Not a book about the technical side of homiletics, but a clarion call to passion and conviction in preaching to the post-modern world. It stirs the soul of the preacher. Mohler continually reminds the pastor of the sufficiency of Scripture in ministry. "
— Dennis, 10/8/2011" A great encouragement to pastors to refocus their energy on faithfully preaching the word of God. Certainly recommended. "
— Matt, 2/22/2011" A, sadly, desperately needed discussion on the importance of truthful and Godly preaching in today's world. "
— John, 2/19/2011" Encouraging book for the minster who desires to be a faithful preacher of the Word of God. We must remember that no matter the culture or generation God still works through the foolishness of preaching. "
— Craig, 1/24/2011" Good book...not my favorite about preaching, but a good one yet still "
— Jim, 10/9/2010" Solid, Sproul-esque kind of book. <br/>Don't dilute the Gospel, degrade preaching's worth or centrality, get casual, preach from your own ideas instead of the Bible, etc. <br/> <br/>Pretty light on practical helps - Mohler is a better abstract, big-idea kind of guy. "
