Book Review: Communicating for a Change by Andy Stanley

-->

This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to become a better communicator. Although I have not read other reviews on this book, my guess is that there are some pious people who dislike Andy and thus discredit his in your face reality about preaching and dismiss this book as nonspiritual. Regardless of naysayers might communicate about this book, it is indeed a great read for preachers who want to be more effective in their communication skills. Through a story and then detailed explanation, Stanley provide 7 Imperatives of Communications. This is worth the read for any preacher, especially ones who would like to improve!

Texting, Because We Don't Care to Talk to People Anymore

Have you ever really thought about texting? Have you thought about what you are communicating when you text? At its best a text means that I have something to say to you, just not the time to talk to you. At its worst, texting means I have something to say to you, I just don’t want to talk to you. If it is not obvious, I am not a fan of texting. Granted it has its place, I just don’t like it. Regardless, we are texting now and instead of fighting it as some fad, I’ll try to get over my feelings and embrace it.
