Preaching the Book of Ezekiel

Pastors and preachers seldom preach from the Book of Ezekiel because of its difficult and bizarre nature. This also leads to a lack of interest from readers. Ironically, the socio-historical contexts captured in the Book of Ezekiel resonate with modern contextual realities in several ways; hence, neglecting it deprives the community of faith of the benefits from this rich prophetic book. This book masterfully addresses the questions: Why should we preach from the Book of Ezekiel?, What should we preach from the Book of Ezekiel?, and How should we preach from the Book of Ezekiel? It makes the message of a difficult prophetic book easy to understand, also providing the steps to preaching it today.
