The other day I mentioned T.D. Jakes and said I was surprised he hadn’t been mentioned in peoples’ lists of favorite preachers. I have found an interesting article on him from CNN – not many of the preachers listed by me or other bloggers as their favorites will be profiled on CNN I suspect! Here are a couple of quotes:
“When it comes to rhetoric,” says Paige Patterson, a leader in the predominantly white Southern Baptist Convention, “the best Anglo preachers on their best days don’t preach as well as a good black preacher on his worst day.”
Says Charisma’s Grady (of T.D.Jakes) : “He taps into the core of human weakness and need and then proclaims Christ as an answer to that, in a way that causes people to stand up and shout.”
