Where have all the prophets gone
Sometimes I wonder if I simply arrived too late in ministry in the SBC. It seems as though a generation of anointed leaders have disappeared without replacement in our convention. Maybe God has raised them up and I have yet to meet the new voices He is sending forth. Who were the previous voices God sent out? Men like Vance Havener, Ron Dunn, Manly Beasley, Junior Hill, and Bill Stafford. Yes I know the latter two continue to preach but the previous three we miss dearly. Occasionally I run on to a Manly Beasley tape I don’t have and Ron Dunn’s work continues to be available through his family. While I am appreciative of their continuing contributions, I long for the man of God who can speak to us and our generation as they did to their generation. I am amazed at the number of preachers I encounter who were so influenced by Beasley and Dunn. Thank God for His servants.

Do you know where I can get copies of Manly Beasley tapes or writings?
Duane and Iris Blue feature three of Manly's books on their website. They may be the best source of info I know about. www.duaneandirisblue.com
Our Pastor was influenced by the men you mention and is a probably the kind of preaching your are talking about. You can hear some podcasts by following links from our website:

Hope this encourages you.
