About the Book

The Man: You can’t separate the man from the message. This chapter deals with the preparations and surrender that a true God-called preacher must be willing to endure. Drawing from Paul’s pattern to the Thessalonians, Dr. Peacock deals with issues like confrontation, preaching for results, and discouragement. The Message: God has a message He wants to be imparted to the congregation each Sunday. This chapter explains what biblical preaching is and how to find the right message. Dr. Peacock tackles things like harsh preaching, outward conformity, and preaching on “isms.” He also deals with what to keep out of the pulpit. The Ministry: A biblical ministry is built on the proper foundation: the Lord Jesus Christ. This final chapter addresses many concerns in the ministry. Dr. Peacock offers his advice and biblical explanation for things like when to start a church, the appearance of church facilities, how to treat visitors, missions, street preaching, counseling, and much more.

About the Author

Dr. David Peacock (BD, ThM, ThD) has been around the ministry all of his life. His father, Ben Peacock, was a Baptist pastor and evangelist. It was his father who led him to the Lord at age seven. He was not always in the ministry however. His original career was in law enforcement, one in which he made the rank of captain at the Jacksonville sheriff’s office. In 1992 he founded Bible Believers Baptist Church and eventually left his position at the sheriff’s office to pastor full time. Dr. Peacock is also the president of the Bible Doctrine Institute, a correspondence seminary designed to train men in the Bible and biblical preaching.

Customer Reviews

"A brilliantly prepared exegesis of the experiences of any Man that God calls to do ?the work of the ministry?. I see this book that I have just finished reading on March 8, 2014. The Man The Message The Ministry? as a well thought out definitive overture of the plowing of the fallow ground to the breaking up of the hardness of the heart that a man goes through on Gods wheel fashioned by the ?master? potter. A very timely God send!
I am a man that can relate to every sentence in this well thought out grammatical veneer. I see the author?s desire come out almost as if he is sitting with you in your storm girding himself as Christ to wash your feet. I see or feel no ?more condemnation? when I read this book. (?For I am condemned already?) Therefore I believe this book to be inspired by the Holy Spirit. As the fear of man?s snare that is ?subtly?and slowly tightly cutting off the spiritual circulation to the minister one can often feel. One will literally acknowledge the pain withdraw as he reads. The PTSD if you will ?Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? that a Soldier, Pastor, Chaplain, Missionary, Officer, Christian worker, victim or councilor etc. that has it?s prey seduced to the place of self destruction, perhaps even suicide. Sure we are all guilty of sin but once you have sinned their is NO ONE that you can trust to give you real help. Except Jesus through the comfort of the Holy Spirit. The balm of eye salve or medicine that will begin to fix the addiction (what ever the sin) that has overtime wrapped the chains of darkness around the Sheep?s heart for the wolf to be the devourer at his will.
To many books written by ?Bible Believers? dare to write without filling the pages with ?cut and paste? quotes from the scripture in fear of it not being acceptable in that ?camp? or just to fill the pages with words to count for a thesis. I can read the Bible and get quotes, but I cannot get the modern experiences of wisdom and instruction from the ?Man that Gods

"Great, practical book for preachers. "

Sam M.
"In my opinion this is an exceptional book for any man who feels the call of God on his life. In it Dr. Peacock shares what he has learned throughout his life about preaching, being a pastor, and working in the ministry. He tackles some tough subjects along the way, and offers biblical solutions with practical counsel.

This is a much needed book and brings fresh insight. I really think it will help anyone, from the veteran preacher, to those just starting out."

David Walker
"Without a doubt the call to preach the Gospel is by nature going to be filled with enormous gaps and pitfalls. Being called, much like Salvation, has nothing to do with the ""life of bliss"" so many have unfortunately promised the new believer these days. The fact is that it's a WAR. Men of God have gone against the opposing force of evil and sin from it's beginning. The most valuable tool in our arsenal is our Faith, the second is our Biblical knowledge. Only with both can any man called into ministry consider the pulpit. Dr. Peacock has taken his vast knowledge of Scripture and his many fruitful years as a called servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and put them in a sharable form that any and all who feel their call to the ministry can learn and grow from.
The only sure thing after the call is the ""MAN"" MUST have the unction of the Holy Ghost, the ""MESSAGE"" MUST come from the very heart of God without exception, and his ""MINISTRY"" MUST FIRST be for leading the lost to Jesus Christ and also for feeding the flock God has given him to tend.
This book is a wealth of knowledge and insight where much of the time can, and usually is, spent in trial and error. This is not only a ""good read"", but a priceless addition to any preacher's collection. I've found DR. Peacock's insight very helpful and easing as well. It's great and even a bit unnerving to feel that call to the ministry. Praise God we have men like himself with such conviction and experience willing to share it for all to benefit and grow from for many generations to come. Lord willing.
Whether you're a long time preacher or just starting out this book is a MUST HAVE in your library!
