The Anointed Pen: Exploring the Impact of Dag’s Christian Literature
When God anoints a preacher to write, the words carry life. They go beyond intellect and cut to the heart. That’s what happens when people read the books of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. His writing carries more than wisdom—it carries the anointing. The same presence that rests on his sermons follows through every page, every paragraph, every sentence.
The writing ministry of Bishop Dag is not a side project—it’s a vital part of his calling. Through his pen, he has reached nations he’s never stepped into and touched lives he’s never met. His books have become tools in the hands of pastors, lifelines to discouraged leaders, and spiritual fuel for hungry believers.
There is something different about his books. They don’t just educate. They impart. They stir something on the inside. People begin reading and suddenly feel convicted, inspired, or strengthened. That’s the anointing—it breaks yokes, lifts burdens, and plants seeds that keep growing.
More Than Information—It’s Revelation
Bishop Dag doesn’t write for popularity. He writes from a place of deep obedience to God. His topics are not chosen for trend—they are born out of ministry experience and prayer. He writes what the Church needs to hear, not what the world wants to hear.
His books carry revelation. Truth that pierces. Instruction that challenges. Counsel that aligns hearts with the will of God. Whether it’s a teaching on loyalty, the role of the shepherd, or the power of soul-winning, there’s always something deeper beneath the surface.
And yet, the books remain simple. That’s part of the anointing too—taking deep spiritual truths and presenting them in a way that even a new believer can understand.
Quiet Impact, Loud Results
The full impact of Bishop Dag’s literature may never be completely measured. How do you quantify the pastor who decided not to quit after reading The Art of Leadership? Or the church split that was healed after a staff read Loyalty and Disloyalty? Or the soul-winner who was stirred by Tell Them to start street ministry?
What we do know is that lives are being changed every day. Testimonies continue to pour in. Leaders are being raised. Churches are growing stronger. Ministries are being revived. And behind much of it is a book—handed to someone, shared in a meeting, or downloaded online.
This is how the anointing works. It doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it whispers through printed words—and changes everything.
A Gift That Keeps Giving
Many of the books Bishop Dag wrote years ago are still bearing fruit today. The Mega Church is still inspiring church planters. The Model Marriage is still guiding couples. The Art of Following is still discipling leaders. That’s the beauty of writing under the anointing. It lasts. It travels. It multiplies.
His books are being used in Bible schools, cell groups, staff meetings, and private devotion across continents. The messages in them are being preached in pulpits and quoted in sermons. And through it all, Christ is being glorified.
There is no flashiness, no gimmicks. Just truth—wrapped in the simplicity of a shepherd’s heart and the fire of God’s Spirit.
A Ministry on Paper
Bishop Dag’s books are not separate from his ministry—they are an extension of it. The same grace that flows in his crusades, the same wisdom that shapes his churches, flows through every line he writes. His pen is not merely his—it is God’s tool, placed in his hand for such a time as this.
And through that pen, thousands—perhaps millions—have been touched. Encouraged. Corrected. Called.
It is more than literature. It is ministry. It is revival. It is the anointing in ink.
