Meet the preacher man This is a collection of sermons from a man who was considered as one of the great preachers of this century. Readers will find comfort, inspiration, and motivation from this collection of sermons. As someone said, "You don't hear sermons like this anymore." Syvelle Phillips started preaching when he was eighteen years old in his hometown, East Brewton, Alabama. When he was nineteen, he preached a revival in one of the largest Assemblies of God churches in the United States. When he was thirty-six, he preached at the General Council meeting of the Assemblies of God. He preached almost every day of his life for sixty-five years until his death in October 2012. He preached in fifty states and in fifty countries around the world. He left tracks on most of the continents. He was not an ordinary preacher. He was called a preacher's preacher. Many said that he was the best preacher they had ever heard. He had a unique style that appealed to all kinds of people. He preached to the well-dressed Sunday morning crowds, and he preached to half-dressed former headhunters who sat on the ground in the jungle to hear him.
