Listen Up! $1
This Wednesday (9/22) wtsbooks.com will be launching a 48-hour sale on an important booklet. Christopher Ash, the Director of the Cornhill Training Course in London, England, has written Listen Up!–a short (only 31 pages), accessible, pamphlet that addresses the way in which the people of God can gain the maximum benefit from listening to sermons. Mark Dever gives Listen Up! to every new church member, and R. Kent Hughes says that it “provides crucial theology and practical advice about listening that can make the difference between life and death in the church.â€
wtsbooks.com is offering the pamphlet at 67% off for 48-hours, making copies available for only $1.00 each. The book lays out seven ingredients for healthy sermon listening:
- Expect God to speak
- Admit God knows better than you
- Check the preacher says what the passage says
- Hear the sermon in church
- Be there week by week
- Do what the Bible says
- Do what the Bible says today – and rejoice!
*I would also recommend Joel Beeke’s The Family at Church: Listening to Sermons and Attending Prayer Meetings, and Jay Adams’ Be Careful How You Listen.
Nick,
Edward Bickersteth, a puritan, wrote a book called the Christian Hearer. It is very good and is now back in print, though $25.00.
I went to buy it tonight…$5.00 for shipping….
