The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition: Preaching the Literary Artistry and Genres of the BibleIn order to understand, appreciate, and faithfully preach the word of God, pastors must discern the literary nature of the Bible.

In order to understand, appreciate, and faithfully preach the word of God, pastors must discern the literary nature of the Bible. Instead of just acknowledging the various genres of Scripture, pastors and teachers should allow these genres to influence how the text is approached and communicated. In The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition, they will learn how to both read and preach the Bible as a literary anthology. To accomplish this, Douglas Sean O’Donnell and Leland Ryken teach pastors how to faithfully preach while keeping the original authors’ intentions in mind, helping them grow in their craft and love for God’s word. They explain how to read 6 genres—including narratives, parables, epistles, poetry, proverbs, and visionary writings—for the purpose of

He also contributed the Song of Solomon and Job to the ESV Expository Commentary. Leland Ryken (PhD, University of Oregon) served as professor of English at Wheaton College for nearly fifty years. He served as literary stylist for the English Standard Version Bible and has authored or edited over sixty books, including The Word of God in English and A Complete Handbook of Literary Forms in the Bible.

______________

“Leland Ryken has been perhaps the clearest and most helpful voice in understanding the literature of the Bible for our generation, and here Douglas O’Donnell ably brings Ryken’s insight and voice specifically to the preaching task. The strength of this book lies especially in its affirmation of the importance of paying attention to the function and beauty of literary form, but also in its setting forth of particular strategies for reading and for preaching, helpfully illustrated through particular examples. Clearly, literary form matters to God; and as preachers, it should matter to us, in both our preparation and our delivery. The Beauty and Power of Biblical Exposition will serve you well on both fronts. It is a compelling testimony to the power and profitability of God’s beautiful Word.” Mike Bullmore, Senior Pastor, CrossWay Community Church, Bristol, Wisconsin

Be Very Cautious!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Splinters easily if you have an aggressive chewer! Although very tasty, within hours of a dog (lab/shepherd mix) I care for excitedly indulging in it, I was picking pieces he easily could have choked on (or worse). The large end of the bone splintered/cracked quicker than other bones he’s had which makes it very dangerous. Value for money is iffy due to that. Bone is a good price but not when it endangers the health of an animal. I gave it 3 stars because it had no smell, dog enjoyed the flavor, but definitely be cautious with this bone!

Dog Loves It
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
My dog, who is a intense chewer, loves these. He has learned how to break them by dropping them from up high, but they still last quite awhile. When he gets thru the filling, we fill with peanut butter for a treat.

Durable construction, including squeakers!
Style: Snake
This is the absolute best toy I've found. My dog is a 40 lb staffie who loves to play tug and chew. I'm used to toys lasting one day to one week and this one lasted about four months of almost constant daily play. The squeakers finally collapsed, so I'm buying my second one. I wish they would embroider the name of their brand on the toy because I forgot what the brand name was and it was hard to find again. Thankfully, I combed through my purchase records and finally found it. This brand definitely is my go-to for durable toys from now on!

Very nice, LOUD toy
Style: Crocodile
My parents' dog had the shark version of this toy already, and I looked to see if there were any other versions of the same toy. I found this crocodile. This thing is hysterical when he plays with it. I think each squeaker makes a slightly different sound, so you can hear him switch from 1 part to another. This is not for you if you like quiet. It is very loud but our dog doesn't like toys that don't squeak. The shark has held up for along time, and the crocodile is doing well so far. He's pretty rough on his toys, but he hasn't torn these or broken the squeakers. The fabric is soft, and it's well sewn. There's no stuffing in the body or limbs, so small holes don't really matter. It's big enough for larger dogs (ours is 45lb). The price was very good for a large toy that's high quality.
