"Compare Ephesians 5:18-19 with Colossians 3:16 and a remarkable truth emerges. Scripture
equates Spirit-filled living with letting the Word of Christ dwell richly within. That is precisely
they key to authentic Spirit-empowered preaching, too. When prominence is given to the Word
of God rather than to the antics of the preacher or the feelings of the hearers,
that is when preaching is most Spirit-directed. Greg Heisler has wonderfully traced the New Testament theme of the Holy Spirit's
role in our preaching. Greg's passion for Spirit-led preaching is contagious; his insights are both wise and biblical; and this book therefore should
be a great help and encouragement to any preacher who longs for the Spirit's true anointing in the pulpit."
-JOHN MACARTHUR, senior pastor, Grace Community Church
"Dr. Heisler contributes a much-needed volume to the field of sermon preparation
and delivery . . . (bringing) us back to what Paul surely intended when he said that
preaching should be 'in demonstration of the Spirit and power' (I Cor. 2:4). Read
this book and be blessed and challenged."
-JERRY VINES, pastor emeritus, First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida
"Greg Heisler has written an important book that will help to educate a new
generation of evangelicals about the power of preaching through the Holy Spirit
and the Word."
-R. ALBERT MOHLER, JR., president, The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky
"In an age marked by frenzy on the one hand and lethargy on the other, we need
a revival of the kind of preaching called for in this book - God-honoring, Christcentered,
Spirit-anointed, soul-searching, passionate, convicting, and courageous.
May God give us heralds of the gospel who preach like this!"
