Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins, has generated a national conversation about ultimate issues, such as the nature of hell, heaven, and the ultimate destiny of humankind. Yet, the book has also created unnecessary confusion. God Wins is a response to the provocative questions Love Wins has raised. In God Wins, Mark Galli explores the important questions that are left unasked and the issues left uncharted. Mark shows how Love Wins is not enough–and that there is even better news for our world. Includes a group-discussion guide with relevant Scripture passages.

Master the craft of effective communication that grabs attention and wins hearts.

Like everyone else, preachers long to be understood. Unfortunately, the rules first learned in seminary, if misapplied, can quickly turn homiletic precision into listener boredom.

To capture heart and mind, authors Mark Galli and Craig Larson suggest preachers turn to the lessons of journalism. Within this book, they show how the same keys used to create effective, captivating communication in the media can transform a sermon.

In Preaching That Connects, you will find key points including:

• the five techniques for generating creative ideas,
• your six options for illustrations,
• the ten rules for great storytelling,
• and why the transition sentence is the hardest sentence you‚Äôll write.

 

Amply illustrated from some of today’s best preachers, this book walks through the entire sermon, from the critical introduction to the bridge to illustrations and final application.

Preaching That Connects is for all who seek to hone their craft to communicate the truth of the gospel effectively.
