The deeper tragedy is that in many places the church has become a valley of dry bones. Something is needed to waken the dead and to breathe new life into the people of God. William Perkins (1558-1602) provides basic guidance to help all Christians to read and use the Bible intelligently. He has a particularly powerful message for those who lead God&#8217;s people and especially those who preach.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Art of Prophesying<\/em> carries sparks capable of igniting a preacher. It should be beside every minister&#8217;s desk as a book to turn to again and again.<\/p>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.9marks.org\/review\/book-review-the-art-of-prophesying-by-william-perkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Review by Andrew S.
