The life and ministry of Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, has proven to be a solid example of prayer-powered preaching. Much of his effectiveness in the pulpit flowed from his life of prayer. His example of walking with God is inspiring and encouraging. Drawing from the example of Spurgeon, this book, seeks to provide the preacher with a pattern of consistency in developing a prayer-powered pulpit.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Here is the book on the prayer powered preaching of Charles Spurgeon I wish I could have written. Keeney Dickenson has spent a lifetime reading Spurgeon and reading those who have written about Spurgeon. The fruit of his research is carefully laid out for us in this wonderful book. Learn how to firmly plant your life and ministry in the knee-prints of this great preacher, and more importantly in the knee-prints of Jesus Himself. Spurgeon took Acts 6:4 seriously. Dickenson will show you how to do the same in your preaching ministry. Highly recommended!

Charles Spurgeon stands as one of the most prolific gospel ministers in the history of the Christian Church. Most any study of Spurgeon and his prolific ministry will prove fruitful. That is why I am particularly thankful for Keeney Dickenson and his helpful book The Prayer-Powered Pulpit of the Prince of Preachers. Those who read this work and apply Spurgeon's habits of prayer and personal piety for their pulpit ministry, will be blessed, as will those to whom they preach.

Early in this book, Keeney Dickinson wrote that each preacher must “make the assumption that you have an understanding and a weekly practice of homiletics that could benefit from an increased saturation with prayer.” Further along he wrote, “Praying is a crucial aspect of every stage of your pulpit ministry. To pause from prayer at any point in the process is to sever your preaching from God’s power.” Using the entire corpus of Spurgeon’s sermon as vital and experienced spiritual instruction, this book relentlessly pursues the premise that the preacher must first and foremost be a man of God before he can be of any use to his people. He must be a God-saturated person in his personal life and must inject prayer into every phase of self-examination and sermon preparation if he is to be a vessel “unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use” (2 Timothy 2:21). Placed alongside all the needed training in theology, exegesis, and homiletics, this book will consistently remind the reader that he is a “minister of Christ” and a “steward of the mysteries of God” (1 Corinthians 4:1).

E. M. Bounds once wrote, “This unction comes to the preacher not in the study but in the closet.” Nobody understood that assertion better or practiced it more diligently than Charles Spurgeon. And nobody has written more thoroughly, accurately and clearly about the Prince of Preacher’s resolve to wed the two ministries of prayer and preaching than Keeney Dickenson. In The Prayer-Powered Pulpit, he will inspire you—but even more—challenge you to follow suit in tapping into the Holy Spirit’s attendance to your preaching through sacrificial prayer.
