Download or read book Simplify the Message written by Talbot Davis and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simplify the Message: Multiply the Impact is designed to help preachers break through the noise of culture and the cauldron of church to deliver sermons with clarity, passion, and boldness. This book meets the needs of two cohorts in particular: 1) young preachers developing their skills who need structure, a process, and hope, and 2) more seasoned preachers who may have “settled” needing tools to invigorate their preparation and inspire their delivery. Paul told the Corinthians: “When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I didn’t come preaching God’s secrets to you like I was an expert in speech or wisdom. I had made up my mind not to think about anything while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and to preach him as crucified.” (I Corinthians 2:1-2, CEB) Author Talbot Davis shares the insights and habits that will empower the reader’s preaching and teaching to be: Both creative and disciplined; Both carefully prepared and thoroughly spontaneous; and Both rooted in history and connected to modernity. Simple is the opposite of simplistic. Sermons with clear & unmistakable focus are best able to pulumb the depths not only of Gospel beauty but of the hearers’ lives.

Download or read book CITYSCAPES written by B.W. Williams and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization estimates that half of the world’s population is currently living in cities and will continue to climb. Cities are often vilified in many stories as ‘concrete jungles, slums,’ or seem terrifying to many. Thomas Jefferson believed that the strength and future of America lay in its rural heritage, and that cities were anathema to this concept. Perhaps the truth is that they are a culmination and reflection of the best and worst in our society. Cities are by their very nature, split personalities. Wasteful and ecoconscious. Chaotic in appearance, but concerned about efficiency, economies of scale, and marshalling the resources required to house, feed, clothe, educate, and move masses of people back and forth from home to work, and play. Many cities are also unique in that people gravitate toward them as centers of cultures and learning. The theme of this collection of urban short stories and poems revolve around life in the city during four seasons. In the section outlined, ‘Spring,’ for example, I start with an ode to New York, a poem dedicated to the city and its vibrancy, celebrating the dawn of something new and fresh. In the ‘Fall,’ section, on the other hand, I make historical reference to events of September 11th, 2001, in the poem Big Brothers. In between, the thematic expression of urban life and its experiences during the different seasons is laid out, sometimes metaphorically, as in the poem, ‘Shadow of Wings,’ which represents summer travel and freedom from the routines of life, and at times literally, as is in the short story, ‘South Station,’ where the main scene is played out in the winter.
