Few things are more evident in contemporary churches than the decline in the importance attached to what is said from their pulpits. The deeper tragedy is that in many places the church has become a valley of dry bones. Something is needed to awaken the dead and breathe new life into God's people. William Perkins (1558-1602) provides basic guidance to help all Christians intelligently read and use the Bible.
The Lord has used Perkin's book as a map that leads pastors to the heavenly El Dorado, helping to bring out the spiritual treasures of God's Word through preaching. For over four centuries, it has stood the test of time, historically serving as the gold standard, the premier manual of preaching used in the training of ministers in the English-speaking world in Europe and North America. I am eager to see how the Lord will once again use "The Art of Prophesying" as this translation is placed into the hands of His servants in Central and South America as well!

It has a particularly powerful message for those who lead God's people and especially for those who preach. The Art of Prophesying carries sparks capable of igniting a preacher. It should be on every minister's desk as a book to return to again and again. -Juan Salas General Editor Credo Press USA
