“Is there any word from the Lord?”(Jer. 37:17). Thirsty souls desire living water from God’s Word. Designed to help preachers engage in a disciplined and deliberate study of biblical materials, Living Water for Thirsty Souls has this central premise: preaching should be grounded and centered in the truths and lessons of the Bible. To achieve this goal, Marvin McMickle formulates an approach to biblical exegesis for preaching that is easy for students to learn and useful for pastors to employ long after their student days are done. This eight-step approach covers the eight Ls: limits, literature, language, location, links, leads, lessons, and life application. These teaching tools are guaranteed to take preachers through the transition from text to sermon, resulting in a rich harvest of preaching material. Judson Press.
