Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience in critiquing sermon
delivery, Jacks here offers a practical, hands-on approach to
writing sermons that consider listeners first. Jacks gives samples
and examples of writing that effectively captures and holds an
audience's attention, and he offers practical tips and suggestions
intended to help each of us find a preaching style and voice of our
own. He also shows how to translate the jargon of theological
textbooks into everyday language, suggests methods for rewriting
sermons to avoid some of the pomposity of sermonic proclamation,
and demonstrates ways to retell biblical narratives in fresh and
imaginative ways. Just Say the Word! Writing for the Ear is a
valuable resource that will help pastors and lay leaders
communicate as effectively as possible the faith that is ours to
share.
This volume gives pastors and worship leaders practical lessons in
disciplined, interpretive speech that will enhance the living
quality of Scripture for listeners today. Jacks discusses the
practical techniques of effective oral interpretation --phrasing,
emphasis, imagery, and vocal gesture --and covers important matters
of voice and diction --pronunciation, articulation, and vocal
control. Other communication tips include ways to restructure
Scripture readings, a chart listing trouble areas in voice and
diction, and much more.
