Inspiring book

This was a very enjoyable book. The first half was captivating as I am a pastor who struggles with some of the points the pastor in the book was struggling with. The narrative did go a little lone. The second half of the book was the instruction manual. My only request is that the author would have given a 4-5 examples of this type of sermon, a few sermons that reflected this style. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens.

Amazing tool for pastors/speakers

On my top 5 favorite books! Easy to read and understand...so practical!!! Part one is written in story form instructing through a story. I'll likely use it as a reference for many years to come. I've recommended it to all my speaker friends... I loved it! If you are a teacher/pastor/speaker....just buy it!

Make a Point and Make it Stick!

Many thanks to Andy Stanley for sharing his process and insights with the rest of us. So many communicators could benefit from this book. I speak mostly to MOPS groups and this book is spot on for communicating in that venue. It's great for anyone who wants to see people remember what they've said so the principles can lead to life change.

A must for all Seminary students and communicators

My observation regarding preaching is that there are two things necessary to be an unusually effective communicator of God's Word:

1. Extraordinary insight into the Scriptures
2. The ability to communicate that insight in an engaging, memorable way.

In this incredible book, Andy Stanley shares his secret to making number 2 happen on a weekly basis. Expository purists who feel the need to impart every ounce of knowledge they learned in seminary or in the commentaries the night before will struggle with this book. If your goal when you preach is simply to dispense knowledge and let people figure out for themselves where to go from there, then save yourself some money and get a different book. However, if your goal is to communicate in such a way that people's lives are transformed, then you need to order this book and have it express shipped.

If you are a seminary student or a pastor you MUST READ THIS BOOK NOW! Then get your hands on some of Andy's sermons and listen to him in action. Notice how he incorporates the ideas from the book in different and creative ways. Then re-read the book again. I've read this entire book twice and parts of it 3-4 times. Each time I see something that I missed before.

I doubt that in the next 20-30 years there will be a book written for preachers as meaningful as this one. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
