Persuasion is not the work of the preacher or teacher. In fact, it is not the work of any man, but is the work of the Holy Spirit. It is the role of the Holy Spirit to break a person's will through conviction and that in a sense, is the power of persuasion.
In this textbook, yes, you read that right...this is a textbook, meant for learners who want to study this aspect of preaching. We do hold to the fact that Paul stated, he did come to preach with persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power. Persuasive preaching totally implies Spirit-filled preaching and that is the fact of the matter.
This book covers what persuasive preaching is not, before it addresses what persuasive preaching is and for that I am grateful. The author does a great job of both sides of the explanation and uses this resource to cover many gray areas in preaching: such as; invitations, manipulations, and the power of the Word and the Spirit in one.
Finally, this book contains graphs, charts and outlines to help the reader understand the explanations mentioned above. You'll find this to be another helpful textbook for preachers of all ages, seasons, and ministries.
