Preaching "Robert Jacks . . . has given attention to two vital but often neglected aspects of one's pulpit ministry--the public reading of the Scriptures, and the optimal use of one's voice. In so doing, he has provided a very readable, even entertaining work. . . Jacks' book gives important emphasis to an easily neglected aspect of public preaching and teaching. He gives helpful reminders in a humorous and pleasant style." Princeton Seminary Bulletin "Beginning public speakers, gifted senior pastors, and everyone in between will find this book both challenging and immensely helpful." Reformed Litugry & Music "Anyone who reads Scripture in worship--clergy of lay--will gain enormously from this book. . . In addition to his very helpful discourse on the communication of the content of scripture in the first half of the book, he provides a clinic in the use of the body as the instrument of communication in the second. His non-technical treatment of the physiology of speech, the arts of pronunciation and articulation, the use of gestures, and his easy-to-follow instructions for exercises contributes to a very useful volume indeed."
