There is "a new audience facing the preacher of the gospel today," writes Dr. Proctor. Addressing the needs of this new audience, one that lives in an ever-changing world, Proctor explores four vital faith issues that he sees as the basis of relevant preaching:

• God’s presence and participation in human affairs;
• Spiritual renewal that restores and redeems human nature and that is available to all;
• Achieving genuine community through God’s enduring love for humanity;
• Experiencing eternity in the here and now.

Speaking to both pastor and layperson, Dr. Proctor offers spirit-enriching messages for group study, personal reflection, and preparation of sermons that meet the deepest needs of today's Christians.
