From the Back Cover: "Roger Van Harns startling message must be heard by everyone who listens to or preaches sermons: listeners have rights. And it's about time they claimed what they have coming to them the good news compellingly and authentically preached. . . . A sharp, pungent, painful, hopeful word for pew and pulpit."

-- Lewis B. Smedes

"This book provides a fresh angle on preaching by examining it from the perspective of the hearer. It evidences wide reading, responsible scholarship, insightful discussion, honest facing of problems, clarifying examples, stimulating suggestions, and an easy reading style. Highly recommended for preachers, worship committees, adult study groups, and anyone who seeks greater insight from listening to biblical sermons. "

-- Sidney Greidanus
"Calvin Theological Seminary

"An insightful, splendidly written book by a gifted pastor who knows and loves preaching. At once richly theological and profoundly practical, this book gently guides us away from a preoccupation with the preacher toward a rediscovery of preaching's true measure: what people in the pews hear. Roger Van Harn encourages preachers to become pioneer listeners, those who listen before they talk. More important, he teaches us how to do so. "

-- Thomas G. Long
"Princeton Theological Seminary

"On target, sympathetic, and clearly written, Pew Rights is the plainest statement I've read of what really matters in the hearing and the preaching of the gospel. Congratulations to Roger Van Harn for a fine piece of work."
