Whether you speak from the pulpit, podium, or the front of a classroom, you don’t need much more than blank stares and faraway looks to tell you you’re not connecting. Take heart before your audience takes leave! You can convey your message in the powerful, life-changing way it deserves to be told. An insightful, entertaining parable that’s an excellent guide for any speaker, Communicating for a Change takes a simple approach to delivering effectively. Join Pastor Ray as he discovers that the secrets to successful speaking are parallel to the lessons a trucker learns on the road. By knowing your destination before you leave (identifying the one basic premise of your message), using your blinkers (making transitions obvious), and implementing five other practical points, you’ll drive your message home every time! “Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” “Once upon a time…” “In the beginning…” Great stories capture and hold an audience’s attention from start to finish. Why should it be any different when you stand up to speak? In Communicating for a Change, Andy Stanley and Lane Jones offer a unique strategy for communicators seeking to deliver captivating and practical messages. In this highly creative presentation, the authors unpack seven concepts that will empower you to engage and impact your audience in a way that leaves them wanting more. “Whether you are a senior pastor with weekly teaching responsibilities or a student pastor who has bern charged with engaging the hearts and minds of high school students, this book is a must-read.” Bill Hybels Senior pastor, Willow Creak Community Church “A very practical resource for every biblical communicator who wants to go from good to great.” Ed Young Senior pastor, Fellowship Church, Grapevine, Texas “To communicate effectively, you have to connect. Andy has been connecting with people for years, and now he’s sharing his insights with the rest of us.” Jeff Foxworthy Comedian INSIDE LEFT FLAP In Communicating for a Change, Andy Stanley shares the seven imperatives that define his approach to challenging people’s minds in order to change their lives: Determine Your Goal Pick a Point Create a Map Internalize the Message Engage Your Audience Find Your Voice Start All Over These seven concepts will simplify your approach to communication and transform your sermons, lessons, and presentations into powerful life-changing experiences for your listeners. Story Behind the Book Andy Stanley and Lane Jones are on staff at one of America ’s largest churches, North Point Community. Leaders of thousands of people, they regularly speak in front of large groups. They also listen to numerous speakers and know the disastrous effects of a poorly delivered message. This book is the result of their efforts to make public speaking—one of the most common fear-inducing activities known to mankind—simple, easy, and even enjoyable, so that God’s messages will readily produce the life-changing results they should. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The College Student learning to PreachThis book has transformed the way I view teaching. I am a college student learning to write and deliver talks, and this book is helping me lay the foundation for effective communication from the start. Communicating for Change's beginning parable is easy to read and quite revealing. I've found myself working on a specific talk as I read this book, and every chapter I read, I reevaluate and edit that talk. I know this book will have implications for me and for everyone who reads it. Rating: - best bookThis is a great book to have if you are in God's ministry. It teaches you how to communicate with purpose and to do it effectively. Rating:  - Excellent book for any communicator!I approached this like the character in the book, as a pastor who stands to preach every Sunday morning and hopes to connect truth with people. However, the delivery system can be applied across the board to all of your communication, from announcements to short devotionals. You will not get a lot of hermeneutics or in depth homiletics instruction from this book. There are other good books out there that serve such a purpose. This book is about building a relational bridge from you to your audience ...

I wish I read this 5 years ago! Rating: - Minimum takeaway lesson: I appreciate my pastor/Bible study teachers a whole lot more!!!After finishing this book, I was reminded of the following verse in 2 Timothy 2:15 - Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Not everyone is called to preach or to give Bible studies but this book, at the very minimum, allows us to see how much work and thought is involved when a pastor gives a sermon/Bible study. Because of that, I very appreciate my pastor who must have worked really hard to preach ... Read More
