A preacher and tutor of great renown, C. H. Spurgeon led an eventful life. Gaining prominence while still a young man, Spurgeon captivated audiences with his charismatic preaching - he had a unique ability to meld sometimes complex scholarship of the Bible with his speeches, in a way that let audiences understand clearly the spiritual wisdom.

This book is for anyone on the frontlines of the gospel, whether it be at work redeeming neighborhoods, working with the most vulnerable, or leading prayer and evangelism efforts. Prayer must take on a declarative, bold, and authoritative tone. To show up on the frontlines of the gospel without this form of prayer is the equivalent of bringing the proverbial knife to a gunfight.

Hablar de vocación hoy dejará de tener sentido cuando deje de tener interés hablar de fe, de seguimiento de Jesús, de comunidad, de misión, de compromiso y de reino de Dios. Lo que quizás no tenga sentido es hablar de vocación si pensamos que hay categorías de cristianos, si confundimos diversidad con diferenciación o si caemos en el clericalismo. Si lo hacemos desde una perspectiva reclutadora, que no pocas veces enmascara una concepción...

Thankfully, there have been older, more experienced ministers that have shared their wit and wisdom along the way. Some were trying to encourage, while others were trying to keep me on track. Now, after nearly forty years in pastoral ministry, I have put some...

After we remind everyone of the priesthood of all believers and that church growth/leadership/outreach belongs to all and not just those ordained, perhaps we will then move forward to develop an active, vibrant ministry with those who currently make up our congregations-including this huge percentage...
