About the Book
Guy F. Hester was urged by his wife, children, and others to put some of his sermons into print. He agreed to use fifty-five sermons to celebrate preaching for fifty-five years.

The title of the book came from words spoken by his dad, Sherlie F. Hester, a noted preacher of the Gospel. Knowing his son wanted to preach, he told him, "Keep it simple, son; people are starving for the pure, simple gospel of Christ." His dad instilled in him that preaching the gospel is the greatest work in the world.
