Description: We need good news now more than ever. We are hungry to connect--with God and with each other. Whether you preach from a pulpit or simply want to communicate more effectively as a leader, this book will empower you to bring that good news with fresh boldness. It teaches a simple, practical method of testing the crucial connection points that too often go missing in our preaching. It invites you to pay attention to the verbs of your sermons, so that you will be better able to lament painful struggles with empathy, awaken joyful hope for the future, and catalyze faithful discipleship in the present.
