The Archer and the Arrow – Part 1

     I should probably make it a point to include in my yearly reading list books on preaching, but as it stands there hasn’t been much intentionality on my part.  I’m going to be rereading Mohler’s “He is not Silent,” but other than that there isn’t much that comprises my time concerning preaching; this obviously needs…
