"[Public Speaking] combines communication theory with practical how-to-do-it steps. In a humorous, interesting, and comprehensive manner, the author takes the reader through the process of preparing speeches for both religious and nonreligous settings." - D. R. Sunukjian. This evaluation of Duane Litfin's Public Speaking also describes this updated second edition. A decade of use has proven the effectiveness of Litfin's practical stress on basics. "Sound principles of communication are no different for a Christian than for anyone else," the author writes, but "being a Christian does inevitably have an impact upon how, when, and where Christians tend to practice these principles." This handbook will build self-confidence in teachers, preachers, study leaders, politicians, businessmen, and all those whose main concern is that of effective communication. An advantage over similar texts is that it draws on the legacy of great preachers, whose ideas are unknown to most who prepare such guides. Graphic charts explain theoretical concepts, and questions after each chapter guide learning, either in a college or seminary classroom. - Back cover.
