Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.

The world looks at preachers out of church to know what they mean in it.
The words of the Bible, and the Bible alone, should be heard from the pulpit.
If you're a preacher, you talk for a living, so even if you don't make sense, you learn to make nonsense eloquently.
In the pulpit, we're supposed to present the teaching with all of its unvarnished clarity, but when you step out of the pulpit, you have to meet people where they are and try to walk with them.
The main benefit of the book for the more experienced practitioners is as an evangelical tool. The book will give you some ways of expressing the value and importance of your work that you may not have had before.
I don't write the books. God writes the books and delivers the speeches.
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
I am no theologian. I am a layman. I am among those who are preached to, and who listen. It is not for me to preach. I should not willingly forego being a listener, a man who reads the Gospels and then listens to what others say that our Lord meant. But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice.
Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors that they are ready to repeat their lessons as often as we please.
