Say It To Stick: A Biblical and Practical Guide to Sermon Illustrating

Larry Booze has been in the trenches pastoring churches and preaching sermons for over 20 years. He understands the need to communicate clearly and concisely with parishioners. Drawing on his many years of experience and his careful research of both the biblical text and the literature on communication, he has produced a practical guide to help those who share God’s word to communicate more effectively, i.e. so that they will, “Say It To Stick.” In the book he investigates the Old Testament Stories, Jesus’ Parables, and Paul’s illustrations in order to mine valuable insights for connecting with an audience. It is absolutely amazing how adept at communication the Biblical characters were. Some of the topics he discusses are how to introduce an illustration, how to craft an illustration for greatest impact, and how to use humor. He does not just talk about these topics in theoretical terms, but gives concrete examples of how to apply the principles taught. This book will, no doubt- along with books by Bryan Chapell, Bryan Dawson, Mark Gali, and Craig Brian Larson- be a helpful resource for those who preach.
