The reading of good sermons is the most underrated kind of Christian
literature on the market today. In former centuries, the reading of sermons
was the bulk of the mature Christian's reading diet. Most Puritan books, for
example, are sermons edited for print. Sermon reading keeps believers in the
Word, matures the soul, and whets the appetite for good preaching. It
promotes Christ-centered thinking, healthy self-examination, and godly piety
in every sphere of life. Though nothing can replace the Word preached,
sermon reading has one advantage over preaching—the sermons that made it
into print are usually the minister's best! Tolle Lege—"pick up and read"
great sermon books, especially those of past centuries that are packed with
spiritual meat." —Joel Beeke
