Praise for the Series

"Matthew Kim's excellent primer for new preachers is precisely what I needed as a new preacher—not homiletical tidbits but solid food to nourish the young preacher's soul. What makes for faithful preaching? And more importantly, what makes for a faithful preacher? As a seasoned preacher and skilled teacher of preachers, Dr. Kim speaks with both truth and grace in this genuinely inspiring book. Let me encourage you to get a copy as a gift for the young preacher you know—and don't forget to get one for yourself. Highly recommended!"

—Todd Wilson, president of the Center for Pastor Theologians

"Kelly Kapic concisely states major characteristics of thinking theologically in this little book. For readers who wish a brief explanation of how the study of God functions with reason, prayer, study, humility and repentance, this is a very good beginning. Utilizing salient insights from Augustine, Calvin, Kierkegaard and major reform theologians, he maps out the territory for understanding that theology is naturally a part of living."

—Thomas C. Oden, Emeritus Henry Anson Buttz Professor of Theology, Drew University

"A Little Book for New Scientists is certainly the most concise and helpful book for young persons (and their parents) on a science career that I have ever seen. I would hope that every young person considering a career in the sciences will read this book and then take it down off their shelf about once a year—rereading it regularly as they proceed through graduate school and their post-doc years. If I'd had this book when I was beginning my career, I would have wanted it in a prominent place on my bookshelf—right next to my Bible."

—Darrel R. Falk, emeritus professor of biology at Point Loma Nazarene University

"This book makes an outstanding contribution—for students of history, readers of history, history classes in college or high school, and discussions of history in church groups. It explains clearly what historians do, how historical study can promote the right kind of intellectual discipline, and why history means so much for Christian faith. The book is as powerfully effective as it is accessibly succinct."

—Mark Noll, professor emeritus at Notre Dame University
