This book is designed as a guide for readers who want to become more confident and effective in communicating the meaning of God's Word clearly to listeners. Reading scripture aloud involves a great many considerations by the reader: knowledge and understanding, faith, respect, spirit and heart, vocal skill, and physical control. Though reading individual words on the printed page might seem an easy task, communicating the profound meaning of the words clearly can be an exciting challenge. Lay readers and lectors are here given a simple process to follow when preparing their readings so they feel comfortable reading with variety, expressiveness, and, most of all, with clear understanding.
