After reading this book, I can understand why Keeney Dickenson wanted Richard Owen Roberts to write the foreword. The spirit or Roberts’ ministry permeates this book. I know of no more thorough work on the subject of Solemn Assemblies than this one.

For the purpose of personal spiritual revival, every pastor, serious about his own relationship with the Lord and genuinely concerned about leading his church, should read this manual on Solemn Assembly.  What Keeney Dickenson hits on in this excellent work is of vital necessity to pastors and churches.  The fact that most of our people, and pastors as well, know nothing of Solemn Assembly speaks of our spiritual state.

Mac Brunson, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL

The content of this solemn assembly manual was borne out of community, Keeney Dickenson’s church, and their desire to know the blessing and power of God through their body. Though the concept of a solemn assembly is often overlooked today, the need for corporate repentance in the family, the local church, community, and our nation is key to our survival at every level. Oh how we need solemn assemblies in order to regain the manifest presence of God!
Keeney Dickenson has done a remarkable job of resurfacing and bringing to the forefront this critical process for this most urgent hour. Is there anything else that could turn the heart of God and move the hand of God more than a solemn assembly? This is the guide to show us how to engage biblically in the process.

Byron Paulus, Executive Director, Life Action Revival Ministries

Very few resources exist on solemn assembly, even less practical material for leadership to guide their church through the process of returning to God. Keeney Dickinson has written an excellent resource to clarify key Biblical teaching on the subject. I highly commend his superb work for anyone seeking solid teaching, leadership tips, and clear direction concerning the key considerations involved.

History confirms many times over that societies have been saved from spiritual demise when God's people have turned back to Him. This is where it begins. If, in God's mercy, He chooses to turn our nation around He will begin with the reviving of His people and if ever the church needed to hear the sound of the Solemn Assembly trumpet, it is today. Through the heart and pen of Keeney Dickenson, God has given the church a tool as thorough and biblically sound as can be found. Bathed in prayer and faith, Blow the Trumpet in Zion has the potential of resetting the sails of any church to catch the winds of revival. I wholeheartedly recommend this Spirit-inspired work.

Thank you for taking the time to put together such an excellent and thorough resource, on biblical solemn assembly for the local church today. I pray that Blow the Trumpet in Zion will receive the attention from pastors that God desires, and be a catalyst for revival in churches across North America.

Elaine Helms, Prayer and Spiritual Awakening Coordinator
North American Mission Board, SBC

Blow the Trumpet in Zion is an excellent and valuable resource for churches that long for the presence and power of God among His people. There is so little understanding of Solemn Assemblies today, yet the need is so urgent for God’s people to return to Him in true godly sorrow that leads to true repentance. This resource is able to instruct and to inspire God’s shepherds to call God’s people back to Him in a way that is biblical.

Don Pierson, Prayer Strategies Specialist
Tennessee Baptist Convention

In these days days in which ominous storm clouds of judgment continue to gather, Keeney Dickenson, issues a powerful call to the church and her leaders to come together in true repentance so that they may be renewed in holiness. May God be pleased to use this urgent call to the glory of His name, the furtherance of His gospel and the blessing of His people.

Roger Ellsworth, Author of Come Down, Lord!

If there was ever a time we needed a spiritual awakening among God’s people it is now. I encourage you to consider using this manual to assist you in structuring an approach to personal and congregational renewal.

Keeney Dickenson is the founder and director of Prayeridigm Ministries. He is a pastor, writer, consultant and conference speaker with a passion for prayer and revival. Dickenson is a graduate of Wayland Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has pastored churches in Missouri and New Mexico, and is currently serving as pastor of First Baptist Church in Crockett, Texas. He and his wife D’Ann have two sons, Jarryn and Koby.

Prayeridigm ministries is committed to deepening the individual believer's life of prayer, as well as the corporate prayer life of the local church. Through seminars, and printed materials we focus on the two major emphases of Jesus' life of prayer:
(1) intimacy with the Father
(2) intercession for others

It is our desire to minister to any congregation regardless of the size, denomination, or geographical location. We long to see Jesus' life of prayer reproduced in the lives of God's people everywhere. Therefore, we have no financial obligations that must be met, but rather we trust the Lord for our provision. Our only request is that we be permitted to make our materials available to the people at retreats, seminars, and conferences.
