FINALLY! A book on preaching to meet the characteristics of small-church ministry.

Longtime pastor and author Stanley Baldwin says, “Vernal Wilkinson has written a book specifically for small-church pastors. In it he focuses on the unique demands of preaching and teaching in the small church.” Glenn Daman, small-church consultant, writes, “Effective preaching bridges both the biblical world and the contemporary listener. Consequently, effective pastors must understand and communicate in the small church context otherwise they will not gain a hearing. This book serves to provide the pastor of small church the necessary skills to effectively communicate to those who live in the world of the small church.”

Vern Wilkinson graduated from Talbot Seminary (M. Div.) and Faith Evangelical Seminary (D. Min.) For thirty-five years he has served small, rural churches of North America. Currently he is District Representative for Village Missions in Alaska, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
