Peter Rudge

Preaching the Gospel Peter Rudge

A minister said he was used to writing essays, but reading an essay-like script from the pulpit didn't seem to get him anywhere. What could he do? Learn in Part I of this book how to write in a style suitable for speaking. How does he do that? It's all there: phrasing, punctuating, paragraphing - ready for preaching. Having learnt the art in Part I, what does a minister do at a funeral? There is no set text for the usual style of presentation: just in front of him, people in great need. As is described in Part II, start to trace the events of the deceased person's life in such a way that mourners will then be led into the wonders of the gospel.
