Puritan PB The Art of Prophesying

And the Calling of the Ministry

Few things are more evident in contemporary churches than the decline in the importance attached to what is said from their pulpits. The deeper tragedy is that in many places the church has become a valley of dry bones. Something is needed to waken the dead and to breathe new life into the people of God. William Perkins (1558-1602) provides basic guidance to help all Christians to read and use the Bible intelligently. He has a particularly powerful message for those who lead God's people and especially those who preach. The Art of Prophesying carries sparks capable of igniting a preacher. It should be beside every minister's desk as a book to turn to again and again.
