Introduction
The writer of Hebrews charges every new generation with the task of remembering past leaders: "Remember your leaders who first taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and trust the Lord as they do" (Hebrews NLT).
Ray Stedman was one of the great pastors and leaders of a generation of evangelicals that is quickly passing away. From a secular standpoint, Tom Brokaw calls this "the greatest generation." Whether or not Ray Stedman's generation of evangelicals was the greatest, they certainly leave a legacy that today's generation cannot afford to neglect.
When asked why a biography of Ray Stedman should be written, Ray's longtime friend Howard Hendricks responded, "We're living in a generation in which the pedestals are empty. . . . One of the disadvantages of our generation is that it's called the 'Now Generation' because the past is irrelevant, the future is uncertain; therefore they live for the present.

I remember Ray telling me: "Get past the facade, the smoke screen, and go straight for the soul. All man's problems stem from the ego-pride. The answers, of course, to the ego are Jesus Christ and Scripture, principle and truth-so lead them there." I have practiced that advice for years on TV, radio, and in personal counseling.

Ray C. Stedman was this century's great champion of expositorypreaching. Rather than topical preaching--which is common in manychurches today--Ray believed the "whole counsel of God"was best communicated to God's people by systematically teachingthrough the entire Bible, usually an entire book at time. Thisincluded giving the sense of the passage (Nehemiah )--and itsapplication to contemporary living. In this way the Christiancould build up a broad base of Biblical knowledgesince theBible teaches truth on various topics, "here a little therea little, line upon line, precept upon precept." Ray's sermonswere delivered with minimal notes and when transcribed into printedform rarely needed any editing. Ray was always pre
