"Liefeld takes us through some tricky topics. This book has an agreeable and warm tone, presented in reverence to the Sacred Scriptures but without avoiding the problems and challenges of our day and age. I"m convinced that seminary graduates within the last decade will come to see this book as a useful guide for the major problems that a preacher in any congregation will face." David L. Larsen, President of the faculty of the Trinity Evangelical Institute of Theology
