Setting Hearts on Fire
Description
Anyone who explains the good news of Jesus Christ to others hopes that this will be the result - that hearts will be set on fire by the message, and that repentance and faith will follow.
In this book, which is the fruit of his 40 years experience as an evangelist, John Chapman passes on the skills of his craft. He explains how telling people the gospel of Jesus Christ requires us to be servants: servants of the Word itself ( to understand it accurately), and servants of the people (to explain it clearly).
Whether you are a person who teaches the Bible in a Sunday school class, a small group Bible study, scripture at school, a teenage fellowship group or through preaching sermons, then this book is for you. In his inimitable way, 'Chappo' shows you, step by step, how to prepare and deliver a talk that clearly explains the gospel of Jesus Christ.
John Chapman is well-known throughout Australia, the UK and South Africa as a clear and passionate Bible teacher and evangelist. He served for many years as the head of the Department of Evangelism in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, and has written two other books: A Fresh Start and Know and Tell the Gospel.

This is The Book for young preachers to read
This is The Book for young preachers to read - a brilliant introduction to what preaching is all about, and a very practical manual on how to get started. As Chappo says he teaches a method that will help you get 'better than average results' right from the beginning. I've seen it work time and time again. If you're keen to teach God's word faithfully and effectively, read, study and apply this book. 
Excellent starting point for preachers and bible teachers
I can't recommend Setting Hearts on Fire highly enough. Chappo is a brilliant preacher and communicator and he's written an excellent introduction to the art of preaching. I'd recommend all preachers read this book, and especially commend it to those just starting out - his structure provides an excellent starting point and really does deliver better than average results for the beginner!
