';Dr. Hicks wrote Preaching While Bleeding as an experienced ';bleeder'; therefore, I offer this word of cautionplease be careful when reading this book because the blood of the author's passion may spill on you.' Dr. Maurice Watson, Senior Pastor, Metropolitan Baptist Church, Largo, MD';If you want to become a real preacher of the Word, this book will be of great value, and it will cost you everything.' David McAllister Wilson, President, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC.';In these masterful confessions on preaching, Dr. Hicks' words take on flesh and dwell among us, challenging all who would preach to do so with courage, constancy, superior biblical scholarship and with our lives.' Dr. Jeffrey Haggray Executive Director, American Baptist Home Mission Societies & Judson Press';This book challenges and chastises in the way that only H. Beecher Hicks can. I treasure his body of work and celebrate his contribution to the church and the Kingdom. This book is a ';must read' for every called out, set apart preacherwhether you started today or decades ago.' Bishop Vashti McKenzie 10th District, African Methodist Episcopal Church, TexasAfrican-American preaching must always be relevant to one's social condition and always available to speak truth to power. It is the only Word that can lift us from the ';Underground' to ';Higher Ground.' Upon this ground, the whole of Preaching While Bleeding stands.
