Reviews

'His preaching is powerful, impassioned, exegetically solid, balanced, clear in structure, penetrating in application. His ministry is often attended by a peculiar degree of unction from the Spirit.'
*Ed Donnelly (Principal, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland)*

'He has a fine mind and a masterful grasp of Reformed theology'
*J.I. Packer, Regent's College, Vancouver ((1929 – 2020) Well known author & Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada)*

'he is in daily life what he is in the pulpit.'
*Iain Murray ( Co-Founder of Banner of Truth, Edinburgh, Scotland)*

'I find Al Martin's preaching to be sound, compelling.... He cuts it straight.'
*John MacArthur (Chancellor Emeritus, The Master’s University and Seminary and Pastor–Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California)*

'Al Martin's preaching excels in bringing home God's truth to the consciences of people.'
*Joel Beeke (President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)*

Every preacher should take the time to read Borgman's book. It is a deeply satisfying theology of preaching - more satisfying than anything else I've read... a stunning compendium of pastoral theology in a typically Martinesque reformed and puritan style that is effective and powerful in this the 21st century.
