A Complete Guide to Sermon Delivery

by Al Fasol

Chapter one establishes a seven-fold approach-the Disciplers' Model-to Christian teaching. This model was developed in response to a question that would not let the author go-'How should I teach so that my learners will grow in the Lord?'

A dated but useful guide because of its unique focus on the physical act of speaking. Most preaching books are focused on the content of the sermon with very little, if any, emphasis on the physical act of preaching itself. This book spends more time on how preachers should actually sound as they preach. It is an underappreciated emphasis that needs to be explored. My fear is that many preachers assume they don't need these simple steps, nor care for their voice. The book talks about pitch, proper breathing, how to stand, changing your tone, modulating your speed, and more. It then gives clear exercises to practice. It gives you a few paragraphs of sermons to practice these techniques. The book is certainly dated, especially the sections on radio/tv preaching, but it has a unique perspective that is needed.

Generally out of date, and as I have a background in vocal performance, the parts of this book that were certainly very practical were mostly common sense to me. Just not a book I was wowed by. Nothing innately wrong with it either! Sorry, just not my favorite read.

Some very practical tips that can help one to improve his delivery.

The technical guide broadened my horizons on vocal production. I am substantially more aware of using my belly, posture, gestures, eye contact, and so much more of my body's parts with discipline for the goal of properly delivering a message. I've been breathing better and more prepared during conversations and spoken discourses since I've read this book.

I'll sum it up for you. Be normal or don't speak in public. There, saved you an hour.
