Books by David Helm

“Expositional Preaching is the best introduction to expository preaching I know of. The book is theologically discerning and yet incredibly practical. I hope thousands of preachers read this book.”
— Kevin DeYoung

“David Helm has a pastor’s eye for the grand narrative of Scripture, combined with a father’s understanding of how to communicate that big idea to little minds. Highly recommended!”
— Iain M. Duguid
