Is it part of your Christian service to preach regularly as an ordained or lay minister in church services? Are you engaged in less formal ways in the ministry of God"s Word? If so, you will know that preparing to speak publicly can be hard work. It is time-consuming, and is sometimes given less priority than necessary because of other commitments. Here is a handbook to help you become an effective speaker. Clear and concise, you can tell at once that the author has decided his aims, and marshalled practical material to help those preparing to preach. Maurice Burrell has years of experience of preaching and teaching in churches of all denominations; in hospitals, colleges, and schools; as a chaplain with the British Forces in Germany; and more recently as director of training in the Diocese of Norwich. He sets out a comprehensive method of preparation that he practises and has taught to others, taking into account the contribution of modern multimedia presentations, the needs of today"s congregations, and the importance of personal style in a television age. Preparing to Preach is thought-provoking, stimulating, and a useful book for all wishing to become more effective in their ministry of God"s Word.
