"Bishop Jakes speaks to readers about communication and how the ways we speak and interact with others can be part of our everyday ministries. He helps readers understand why the way we speak and the words we use matter; how speaking well, no matter your topic or audience, improves your chances of getting the result you want; how to craft your message, whether it's a simple email or a speech under the spotlights, to connect with listeners; why good communication is important for building connection and community; [and] how sharing God's Word produces abundant fruit"--,Provided by publisher.
