McDill offers the preacher a helpful resource for the delivery of the sermon. The book begins with a theological apology for the preacher as a hearer of the word (see excerpt below). The author then builds on this foundation with a detailed discussion of various elements pertinent to the effective delivery of the message God wants heard. Specific help is given with regard to physical voice projection issues (breathing, intonation, resonation) as well as matters relating to style (see chart below). Often neglected, these issues can go a long ways toward enhancing the preacher’s ability to be heard by those who listen. KCA
Excerpt: In a sense, the preacher is himself a hearer. He does not stand aloof from the people he preaches. He is called from among the people as God’s chosen spokesman. Unless he first hears the message for his own life, he will be ill prepared to proclaim it to others. All preaching is interpretation. The preacher’s interpretation will naturally arise out of his own experience with God and His Word. He will not likely lead the people into deeper understanding than he has himself. He is the proclaimer of God’s Word, but he is first a hearer. (p.11)
