Why does everyone want to preach anyway? And why do so many people believe that an anointing to speak is always an anointing to preach and teach? We need more exhorters than preachers. The ministry of exhortation should be the most coveted gift and function in the body of Christ period. Apart from exhortation, nothing is achieved in the Body of Christ. It keeps the Body moving and inspired. And as the end of time approaches, the Word has called for even more exhorting but amazingly it did not call for more preaching. While everyone is commanded to exhort and can exhort sometimes, some people are endowed with a special grace to exhort and we need them now more than ever! They are the heart of every ministry. Endowed with influence, exhorters, also mistaken for simply being encouragers, are persons whose few words or many words, whether in public or private, or from the pulpit or the pew are just the words the rest of us were searching our minds to say or waiting and needing to hear. In his 80 plus page book, Bishop J. Louis Fonzer shares unprecedented, cutting-edge insight into the ministry of exhortation and distinguishes the difference between the exhorter and the often much too-coveted callings of the preacher and the prophet. More importantly, he designates numerous places where the exhorter can provide unparalleled ministry. No other book to date has addressed exhortation so capably, and no other book celebrates the exhorter in such a manner that the exhorters would be ecstatic just to be a ministers of exhortation.
