Great news and not so great news.  Great news first. I sold out every single personal copy of this preaching book.  Yes, within less than 3 months, I've already sold out my 200 copies all by myself (with the help of Miranda and Nancy, of course).  That's bad news for some.  Here's the good news.  You can still order the book from Teddy at Tien Dao teddywhc@gmail.com.  During my book tour of Vancouver, the book sold out the first night, even with above market asking price.  Plenty more were asking and ordering it the second night.  Be sure to get your copies before it is truly sold out. Early bird gets the worm!

Colleague Recommendations:

I am delighted to commend most warmly this book by Dr Sam Tsang. I knew him well when he was in England studying for his PhD at Sheffield University. As a regular member of our Church family, he contributed in all sorts of memorable ways - writing for the Church magazine, preaching, contributing as a Home Group member and being a resource person of great wisdom and knowledge. 

Dr Tsang has an excellent mind which he uses in a very positive but always extremely stimulating and provocative way. Dr Tsang is a Christian gentleman who brings together his specialist intellectual knowledge and his concern for the living, ongoing Christian Church in a quite outstandingly effective way. I am confident that all who read this book will benefit greatly from the prayerful, scholarly and pastoral insights of Dr Tsang.

I am always awed to the sharpness of exegesis and the artistic presentation of sermons which Dr. Tsang powerfully preached to us every week.  I am trly glad that Dr. Tsang has finally produced the book which holds many of the steps he takes in the great messages we enjoyed behind the pulpit. Rest assured that this book is not simply a product of Dr. Tsang’s technical writing abilities. Along with a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Sheffield University, England, Dr. Tsang is also an experienced pastor and a seasoned educator. This book indeed, not only has “luscious” leaves in it, but comes with a sturdy “spine.” The book aims to educate the individual from a "holistic" point of view. By holistic, I mean that Dr. Tsang does not hold back in pointing out, not only the good aspects of composing and the delivery of a sermon, but also the pitfalls many of us (consciously or unconsciously) commit.  This book is an encouragement - it helps many of us realize the things we need to change and develop as we try to carefully “divide” and preach the Word of Truth. This book is also relevant - it will help many of us to understand that while we read an ancient text and try to remain faithful to what the biblical writers originally intended to say, we want to be abreast to needs of our people today.

曾思瀚博士的著作是一本學術理論及實際應用兼備的書，屬難得之作，不論年資深淺的傳道人，相信均能從中獲益良多.

“講道實用手冊”顧名思義是一本非常實用的講道手冊。不只內容豐富，- 為講道者定位，應具備的自信、鎮靜等等，直到完成講章的步驟等 - 而且旁徵博引、條理分明，凡為神作出口的人，理應手中一冊。

曾思瀚博士的 「講道實用手冊」是學習講道事奉者值得參考的指引。它幾乎全面性地介紹相關的課題─從講道前人的預備，至講道結束的後續，都作簡潔的提示。當然，讀者最期待的釋經及講章預備過程，應該是本書的精髓，作者也抽絲剝繭討論了。講道是一件相當吃重的服事，它牽涉到講者、聽者、及生命之道的內容。 怎樣將聖經的真理，透過有效的傳達技巧，加上聖靈的感力，觸摸會眾，使生命被改變，這就是講道的最終目的。願神使用本書，啟迪每一位讀者。
