Will Campbell, Preacher Man

"The same God who blessed us with preacher man Will Campbell now blesses us with 

Childress and Kennedy. These two preachers show how much so many of us owe to preacher Will. Campbell was a creative, faithful, folksy, brilliant, Baptist, gospel-giving, pain in the neck, kick in the butt for so many of us. The fun, biting, serious, deceptively folksy, joyful sermons and essays in Will Campbell, Preacher Man are eloquent testimony to what Will Campbell continues to do for us preachers. It's amazing what Jesus can do, once he is let loose, even among those of us who lack the guts of Will Campbell."
