God Gave A Song for Preaching Author:Allen Powell The Life and Ministry of Henry H. Kinkeade. — "He taught me to care for people," says Allen Powell about his pastor of the last seventeen years. "And I pray that everyone who reads this book will gain a new appreciation for Jesus' words: 'I must needs go through Samaria.' "In pastoring baptist churches for more than forty years, "Brother Kenkeade... more »," as he is affectionately called, has journeyed into many "Samarias" where hearts were heavy and feet were tired and anguished souls were crying out for the water of life. From his humble beginnings in a small quarter-time church up in Wayland, Missouri, to the First Baptist Church of Irving, Texas, Brother Kenkeade always placed the needs of of people with hurting hearts ahead of any concern for self-aggrandisement or personal gain. This book is a story about loving people and ministering to their needs, be they poor and hungry or rich and lonesome. The early years of Henry Kinkeade made him sensitive to sorrows and compassionate with grief. This concern has grown through the years, along with his undying faith in God's redeeming love.« less
