Change. Alcohol
A drunk accepted Christ and was wondrously converted and saved. A "friend" of his saw him a few weeks later and told him that he had heard that he was now going to church and just wanted to know if it were true. The former drunk replied, "Yes!"
His friend asked, "Do you mean to tell me that you believe all that stuff in the Bible?"
Again the new Christian answered, "Yes!"
"You mean to tell me that you even believe the part about Jesus turning the water into wine?"
The man answered, "Yes! Jesus turned the wine in my house into food and clothes and he healed my family. What had been on the verge of destruction Jesus has made whole! If he can do that, he can do anything!"

360-Degree Preaching: Hearing, Speaking, and Living the Word
By Michael J. Quicke / Baker
Few of us would disagree with Michael Quicke's assertion that "twenty-first century preaching needs less function and more unction." Yet, in the midst of our attempts to lead and deal with the ever-increasing loads of administrative details we have little time to consider how we can restore such unction, or godly passion, to our preaching. Fortunately, in 360 Degree Preaching Quicke explains how sermons that are inspired and enabled by the Trinity will be both filled with unction and able to transform both the preacher and the church. Following in the footsteps of such classics as Biblical Preaching and Between Two Worlds, Quicke has written a book that will deepen your understanding of preaching, challenge you to live a life that is consistent with the gospel you preach and will likely transform the quality of your sermons.
