"Integration is all about bringing things together. In Integrative Preaching, Kent Anderson brings together fascinating insights, drawn from years of experience as a preacher and teacher, in crafting a sermon model that is both cross-centered and transformative in nature. This is a book that will be of value to both novice preachers and veteran communicators."  
\--__Michael Duduit__, executive editor, Preaching magazine; dean, Clamp Divinity School, Anderson University  
  
"Anderson has found the right balance between proclamation that is bold and proclamation that is appropriately humble. The world lacks both, and in his person as well as his homiletical theory, Anderson models for us a manner of proclamation that is ripe for our current age. The wisdom contained in these pages will not only strengthen those of us who preach, but more importantly make the message of the One we proclaim more accessible and livable."  
\--__Javier A. Viera__, dean and professor of pastoral theology, Drew University Theological School  
  
"Anderson reminds preachers of an intentional cross-shaped approach to understanding and implementing integrative preaching--and application. God the Preacher speaks through us as we communicate his Word to others, and Anderson widens the lens of sermon preparation for us, enabling preachers to take in a richer appreciation for this important task."  
\--__Scott M. Gibson__, Haddon W. Robinson Professor of Preaching and Ministry, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary  
  
"Too many books on preaching force us to choose between unhelpful binaries: head or heart, reason or imagination, theory or practice, divine or human agency. Not so with Integrative Preaching. Anderson sets us free from these homiletical entrapments. This book informs and inspires. It is theoretical and practical. It presses preachers to engage the mind and touch the heart. It challenges us to grow in the task of preaching and to rest in the divine assurance that God is the real Preacher who promises to be with us as we preach."  
\--__Jared E. Alcántara__, associate professor of homiletics, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
