Spirit Empowered Preaching by Arturo G Azurdia Iii

Spirit Empowered Preaching by Arturo G Azurdia Iii

Looks at the need for the Holy Spirit's power in preaching.

"Seldom does a book arise of which one can say, "This should be essential reading for preachers at whatever stage of their ministry!" But I can say this honestly of this book. . It has made me wish that I could start all over again."

-- Derek Prime ((1931–2020)Author and former pastor of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh)

"Arturo Azurdia believes that much modern preaching is powerless. Sadly, he is right . . . in a searching and warm-hearted analysis he shows how the situation should and can be remedied."

-- John Blanchard (Internationally known Christian preacher, teacher, apologist and author)

"When you finish reading this book not only will you have a better idea of the role of the Spirit in preaching, but you will also know better how to preach in dependence on the Holy Spirit. Everyone who is preaching, or preparing to preach, needs to read this book"

-- Joseph A. Pipa Jr (President, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Greenville, South Carolina)

"The goal of the book is to present a biblical theology of Spirit empowered preaching and it succeeds very well...reminded of much, challenged, rebuked, convicted (having frequently to turn aside to prayer), humbled, encouraged, and stirred up with a renewed desire to go at it again! My heart has truly been stirred."

-- Ray Van Neste, The Founders Journal (Director, R. C. Ryan Center for Biblical Studies, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee)

'Art Azurdia's excellent book will convince you, if your mind and heart is open to God, to get power as well as material . . . I intend to read it again and again and widely recommend it to pastors the world over.

-- John Armstrong

"He seeks a balance between the Holy Spirit and the Word. He proceeds to show the need for the unction and describes the work of the Holy Spirit in preaching, and impresses upon his readers the benefits of being Spirit-filled ministers. His main points are supported by the New Testament and by those people considered to be great evangelical preachers of the past. He shows that the empowering of the Holy Spirit is a sovereign work of God, and that the minister of the Word should be a person of constant prayer. His last chapter, "Pray me full" affirms this and is helpful to all ministers."

-- Aldwin Ragoonath, Pneuma Review

"You will be delighted by this book . . . If your praying for the Spirit's power has become formal or thoughtless then this book can change both you and your ministry - by the Spirit's power."

-- Ed Clowney
