No couple in the history of preaching is more highly regarded for their sermonic work than Ella Pearson and Henry H. Mitchell. Not only are they masters of the preaching art, but they are also scholars and teachers of preachers. For over fifty years, the Mitchells have graced pulpits around the nation. Fire in the Well, however, marks the first time their sermons have been published in book form. The book's final section features a new and unique kind of sermon: the dialogue sermon, in which their two voices contribute to a unified theme.
