Dragging preaching, teaching and communication into the 21st century, this book is for everyone who has to stand up and talk to others, and for those who have to sit and listen. It's packed full of creative ideas, hints, and tips for improving talks and sermons, from voice control to effective sermon planning. The Pages take a humorous look at the development and current state of the sermon, and explore whether the method of preaching and teaching most frequently used - the monologue sermon - is necessarily the best. They question whether the sermon is the only way of teaching, and further, whether it is God's way of doing things.
