Description
United Methodist Publishing House Preaching Without Notes by Joseph M. Webb
In This Important Book, Webb Makes Two Central Claims. First, That Effective Preaching Without A Manuscript Is Not A Matter Of Talent As Much As It Is A Matter Of Preparation. Preachers Can Learn The Practices And Disciplines That Make It Possible To Deliver Articulate, Thoughtfully Crafted Sermons, Not From A Written Page, But As A Natural, Spontaneous Act Of Oral Communication. Throughout The Book, The Author Offers Specific Examples Including A Transcript Of A Sermon Preached Without Manuscript Or Notes. Second, That The Payoff Of Learning To Preach Without A Manuscript Is Nothing Less Than Sermons That More Effectively And Engagingly Give Witness To The Good News.
