Refining Your Style: Learning from Respected Communicators

Summary: AN OASIS FOR PREACHERS & ALL PUBLIC SPEAKERS!
Review: As a minister, without a normal preaching background, this book really is a Godsend. While reinforcing your personal style, with gems from some of the greatest communicators alive today, it also gives a glimpse into other styles that can be unbelievable tools in ministry. Chapters are well constructed to get more out of them. I especially liked the points of caution at the end of the chapters for each style. The CD is also a wonderful resource. A great and useful read for anyone who will ever speak in public!

Summary: A must read for preachers
Review: What an excellent book! Dave doesn't come over as "preachy" and doesn't force a certain style upon you. When reading about my preaching style, I could only shake my head and say, "Wow! This is me. He is describing me." The interviews, tips and cautions are helpful. His book wil add zest to my preaching now that I am aware of the few tiny changes I need to make in my style of preaching, and he has challenged me to experiment more with other styles that I would feel comfortable with.
