In that position, Yawn met Zobrist and his wife, the former Julianna Gilmore, about 16 years ago. Yawn also is a former pastor and elder at Community Bible Church in Nashville. Now retired after a 13-year major-league baseball career, Zobrist is seeking $6 million in damages from Byron Yawn, the CEO of Forrest Crain & Co., a Nashville-area business-consulting firm.

Dr.About a year after he took a leave of absence from the Chicago Cubs, Ben Zobrist discovered his wife was having an affair with their minister, according to court documents This book will help guide you to be that preacher. Each preacher is a one of a kind instrument, uniquely gifted by God, to proclaim His glory. Ware, professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Here is a must read book for every preacher who seeks to find his own individual voice and develop his own personal style in the pulpit. Experienced preachers, as well as those just starting out, will benefit much from getting clear on what matters most in our preaching, and Well-Driven Nails will help much in pointing us all in the right direction. But what makes them great as preachers are these three qualities that all good preaching should have, that your and my preaching may have. The preachers he interviews are among the greats of our day, to be sure. Byron Yawn has provided a needed and helpful corrective by showing that what makes preaching great, instead, are three qualities: clarity, depth, and passion. John MacArthur, president, The Master's College and Seminary In our age of celebrity preaching, ordinary preachers can begin to think that style ultimately determines whether preaching is great or not. Every preacher who wants to be an effective expositor should read this book and take it to heart. Zeroing in, especially on qualities like clarity, simplicity, and passion, Byron hits all the right notes. The faithful expositor's duty entails much more than sound exegesis and symmetrical outlines. In fact, as Byron Yawn points out so powerfully in this book, good expository preaching should never be dry or merely academic. Dry, passionless preaching and murky, technical jargon have ruined countless expository sermons. I've never understood how an expositor who has immersed himself in the biblical text could preach a dull sermon, but I realize that many do-so many, in fact, that expository preaching has acquired a bad reputation in some circles.

It's about a journey every preacher must take if he is to be a fearless proclaimer of Christ in a room full of critics. But, it is also more than a book on preaching.

The author had the privilege of sitting down with some of the most notable preachers of our day and pilfering their hard-earned wisdom and insights. Preachers are hewn out of the rough granite of experience and time. At its core this book is about everything seminary and academics never taught us about preaching.
