On April 2, 2024, Stuart Olyott from Liverpool, England, shared insights on the topic of "How to Not Preach a Boring Sermon" with some of the men at Grace Community Church in San Antonio, Texas. It was during this study that he highly commended this book. These references thus led me to commence a project of reading the 1912 version, revising it, and turning it into an audiobook.
Let me share part of what Stuart shared that night:
I use this book not just to reread it, but I find that if I read a couple of sentences, I suddenly feel that I want to pray. So, I use that as a trigger to pray. Then, after reading a few more sentences, I want to pray again; it moves me to pray...I would like to counsel you to read Power Through Prayer...I think you'll realize that there's far more to preaching than just the act of preaching. Preaching is something done by God through a man.
So with that said, I also commend to you this book.
