"Vance Havner was the most quotable preacher I have ever heard." "No one has done more to stir the fires of revival than Vance Havner" "Vance Havner was a prophet of righteousness and revival. His diagnosis of the world and church conditions revealed a supernatural discernment that astounded audiences." "Vance Havner is one I believe that everyone should read. I doubt that I've preached many messages where I haven't quoted him. His books are hard to find, but worth the search. WORDsearch has all of Havner's books on their computer Bible study program, so no you have no excuse." Here is a collection of twenty-three sermons preached by Vance Havner over the span of fifty years. In this collection, Havner attempts to lay emphasis on truths that are worth repeating, especially those that are concerned with the ideas behind Why Not Just Be Christians? About the Author Vance Houston Havner was born October 17, 1901, in the Western North Carolina locality of Jugtown. Though his ministry eventually took him to major cities throughout America, Dr. Havner maintained a love for the quiet and simple ways of his more rural past. His academic experience began at Hog Hill, Jugtown's schoolhouse. Later, he attended schools such as South Fork Institution, and Boiling Springs High School, which later became Garner-Webb College. He also attended Catawba College, Wake Forest University, and Moody Bible Institute. Dr. Havner's first pastorate was at the Salem Baptist Church in Weeksville, North Carolina. While serving at Salem Baptist Church, the first of his 38 books was published, By the Still Waters. In 1934, Havner went to Charleston, SC to serve as pastor of the First Baptist Church. Later, he was called to an itinerant ministry of evangelism and conference speaking, and it was in this capacity that his greatest contributions were made. His influence extended to a national level, but Dr. Havner's approach was always to minister where God directed, regardless of the size of the church. His appeal and influence transcended denominational lines, and he spoke to many different groups of people. In addition to preaching in many of America's most influential churches, Dr. Havner was a highly sought speaker for conferences at places such as Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He frequently spoke at both state and national meetings of the Southern Baptist Convention. In 1973, he was named 'Preacher of the Year,' by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Protestant leaders from many denominations called Havner, 'The Dean of America's Revival Preachers.' His unique sense of humor endeared him to many, and Havner could choose the right words to express a truth like no other communicator. He was truly gifted with an ability to phrase a thought in such a way, as to drive home a point with absolute effectiveness. Though Dr. Havner died in 1986, his influence for Christ continues.
