One of the great dangers that faces today's preachers is the problem of an over intellectual approach. Careful, meditative and painstaking exegesis brings a potential liability, that of losing the vitality, which must accompany exposition. The Puritans called it 'that certain unction', Martyn LloydJones called it 'an access of power', others have called it 'the anointing'. If you desire that your preaching be lifted up to a position in which you are being used by the Spirit as a channel, then Arturo Azurdia can help you. The insights in this book are gained from Art's careful study and practical experiences of being used by the Holy Spirit in his ministry..
