'This remarkable book by Sam Wells is a three-fold gift: collected sermons by one of our finest preachers, honest reflections and best wisdom about his process of preparing them, and an invitation to us to examine our own sermons more deeply than we often dare to do. Don't be surprised if How to Preach leads you to a startling and unexpected reckoning about yourself as a preacher and human being—and when it does, don't turn away. Wells is the preacher's vicar. Everything he offers here is from the heart, as encouraging as it is empowering. This book will change your preaching life.'

'To know Sam is to know his ability both to think and to communicate with extraordinary perception and clarity. You may call it a gift. However, I also know that it is a discipline, an art, a skill, honed over years of prayer, reflection, and practice. This book is quite simply a masterclass in how to preach.'
