The author recommends reading not just what the giants wrote, but also what has been written about them, and he directs the reader to the best books in both categories, combining the bibliographical and biographical. Additional chapters direct the minister to noteworthy books on ministry in general and preaching in particular. This is the type of book that the reader will not be able to put down, and once he has finished it, he will find it difficult to put down the other novels that the author has enticed him to read.
