Preaching With Power

We have now looked at every one of the preachers in the book. This book is an important book for at least 2 reasons. First it is one of the few Adventist homiletics books in print. Secondly, it is specifically about Black Adventist preaching It may be the only book on that subject published by the church.

We have finally come to the final preacher in Dr. Clifford Jones' book Preaching with Power. In this post we will look at the chapter that contains the interview with G. Ralph Thompson. Pastor Thompson is the former secretary of the General Conferece of Seventh-day Adventists.

We are nearing the end of our conversation with Dr. Clifford Jones' book Preaching with Power. In this post we will look at the chapter that contains the interview with Dr. Benjamin Reaves.
