Famous Dave Endorsement

"Pastor Mark is one of those special preachers filled with a humble overflowing of God's love.  Filled Up, Poured Out is book you will want to devour."

-- Famous Dave Anderson, restauranteur anf keynote speaker

Kevin "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" Scott

Kevin Scott,  primary editor of Filled Up, Poured Out, is an outstanding writer.  You can enjoy his thought provoking insights at his blog Toward Sustainable Christian Living.

Meeting God's Condition

If one-tenth of the work done in the name of Christ were done in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, this world would be turned upside down for God!

It is significant that in the letters to the churches found in Revelation 2 and 3 the phrase repeatedly occurs, "I know thy works." The church has always been known for its works. The church that does not work will soon die. The minister who does not bend every energy to fulfill his sacred calling is not worthy of the name of Christ.

--  Dr. Wesley Duewel  quoted in Herald of His Coming)

Mark Gorveatte Endorsement

"I went from laughing to being convicted and ended up being encouraged by one of the finest pastors in The Wesleyan Church. When I read Mark Wilson’s writings, I enjoy the spiritual insights of an A.W. Tozer sprinkled with just enough of Garrison Keillor’s humor. Enjoy these Spirit-filled insights from the Northwoods."

-- Dr. Mark Gorveatte, President, Kingswood University, Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada.

Frank Viola Endorsement

"Mark O. Wilson's Filled Up, Poured Out is an easy-to-read, engaging treatise that encourages and challenges Christian leaders to take their faith more seriously in a day when "playing church" and experiencing "ministry burn-out" are epidemic. Wilson's uncommon love for Jesus shines brightly through every chapter."

-- Frank Viola, author of "Epic Jesus," "From Eternity to Here," "Revise Us Again," and "Jesus Manifesto" (with Leonard Sweet).

Jo Anne Lyon Endorsement

"This is what the church of Jesus Christ has been waiting for -- a 21st century call, challenge and model of Holy-Spirit-empowered living that transforms people and communities.  This book is a change agent for the church of the second decade of the 21st century."

--  Dr. Jo Anne Lyon, General Superintendent, The Wesleyan Church

Filled Up, Poured Out Summary

Thirsty people are looking to the church for fountains of life-giving water. Too often, they find leaky buckets instead. Pastors, often running on empty themselves, are enticed by the latest fad rather than seeking to serve in the power of the Spirit. And thirsty people walk away empty, convinced the church has nothing unique to offer.

Pastor Mark Wilson says it's time for the church to rise up in the power of the Holy Spirit to serve this present age. In Filled Up, Poured Out, he challenges and inspires fellow pastors to prepare their hearts to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that they can in turn pour out God's presence, promise, peace, and power in their congregations and communities.

Filled with personal, inspirational stories from Mark's experience with growing a thriving congregation in a Wisconsin northwoods town, this book will inspire you to seek the replenishing waters of God's Spirit and show you the pathway to revival for your parched soul.
