Communicate to Change Lives in Person and Print

by James N. Watkins

Available in paperback. Wesleyan Publishing House, 2007; ISBN: 0898273587; 159 pages.

I had the priviledge to meet Jim Watkins at the Blue Ridge Christian Writers Conference in May. He is a wonderful speaker, filled with humility, wisdom and humor. This book proves no less.

Aimed at writers and speakers, this book would be a wonderful addition to anyone who is serious about teaching. It's a great tool for those in ministry, revealing in an organized fashion how to be effective with words. The text is divided into three main sections: changing lives through intelligence, intensity and integrity. The author weaves Scripture and vivid illustrations throughout. He provides many clear examples of how to apply the principles of this book.

Final Thoughts: An easy read and great resource. Definitely RECOMMENDED.
