Review: Wired for Story
Can preachers learn anything from specialists in communication who have no direct interest in preaching? We’d better. In fact, we always have. From the New Testament onward, Christian preaching has “baptized” the prevailing rhetoric of each era in service of the gospel. For this reason, I occasionally like to read a book written by a contemporary rhetorician.
Review: Telling God’s Story
If you are mainly interested in continuing to preach the way we always have, only better, you should probably avoid this book. John Wright is not willing to allow us to pursue business as usual, at least not without taking a hard look at what “business as usual” actually is.
