Discover the Sacred Power of Preaching: Learn Insights from Francis Grimké for Powerful and Faithful Preaching

In a fast-paced world hungry for truth, The Weightiness of Preaching invites pastors, preachers, and gospel communicators to slow down and sit under the steady, Christ-centered wisdom of Dr. Francis J. Grimké. Co-authored by Doug Logan, Jr. and Matt Cohen, this volume highlights the enduring preaching principles of a man whose fifty-year ministry in Washington, D.C., helped shape generations of believers, pastors, and justice-seekers.

Rooted in Grimké’s own words and legacy, this book offers a practical and topically organized guide for faithful preaching. Each chapter distills a key insight—from preaching with one aim, to preparing deeply while relying on the Holy Spirit, to exalting Christ above all—and demonstrates how those insights still empower pulpits today. Logan and Cohen add gospel-rich commentary and practical application for a new generation of leaders who want to preach with clarity, conviction, and Christ-centered consistency.

The Weightiness of Preaching isn’t just a manual—it’s a movement back to substance. Back to Spirit-empowered preaching. Back to anchoring every sermon in gospel truth that transforms. Let this book reignite your call, sharpen your voice, and stretch your vision for gospel impact.

I’m so grateful for the work of Doug Logan and Matt Cohen, who not only unearthed more wisdom from Grimké, but like careful stewards, have given us a curated display of Grimké’s gold and gems on preaching. Read, contemplate, and learn from the dazzling treasure that is Francis Grimké.
