    I'm working through a couple of Dr. Edward's classes now and thoroughly appreciate his approach to teaching preaching. His presentations are rich with experience and wisdom, compelling in presentation, and highly applicable. As a senior pastor, I am working through these classes and using them to help me further develop as an effective communicator of God's Word.
