Reviews"Haddon Robinson has done it again-given us a book that combines his deep commitments to both expository and culturally sensitive preaching. This book significantly advances our understanding and practice of the first-person narrative sermon. Preachers who put this book into practice will not only broaden their preaching repertoire but will experience all over again the power of Robinson's expository preaching method." -Rev. Duane K. Kelderman, D. Min, Vice-President for Administration and Assistant Professor of Preaching, Calvin Theological Seminary"Stories work. Actually, good stories work when told well. Torrey and Haddon Robinson address both concerns: what makes a story good, and what makes it well told; and they do so with a terrific blend of theoretical explanation and practical illustration. They encourage the first-timer that he should, and can, preach narrative sermons. They teach the more seasoned story-teller that he should, and can, preach narrative sermons better. It's All in How You Tell It is an important read for those who want to connect with a media saturated culture that communicates in stories." -Sid Buzzell, professor of Bible exposition, Colorado Christian University "For years, many of us have tried to preach first-person, expository messages, but we lacked instructions. Finally, the Robinsons provide rationale, guidance, and examples. Read this book and you and your listeners will see God's Word with new eyes." -Keith Willhite, Ph.D., professor of pastoral ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary"First-person narratives in the pulpit are easy to do, but hard to do well. Most fail the biblical text, or fail artistically, or both. But now there is help. The Robinsons, father and son, give us what we need if we're to produce creative first-person narrative messages which go beyond amusement to the genuine edification only biblical exposition can provide." -Duane Litfin, president, Wheaton College "This book will help preachers get the story straight and give the straight story to their listeners." -Scott M. Gibson, D.Phil., Director of the Center for Preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary"For many years first person narrative sermons in costume have been a regular part of my preaching as a pastor, seminary teacher and military chaplain. Young people and children in particular have often expressed gratitude to me for bringing the message of the Bible with such clarity and heart impact. I commend Torrey and Haddon Robinson for their concise, clear and creative guide to this challenging but powerful preaching form. The sample sermons are particularly helpful." -John W. Reed, Ph.D., Senior Professor of Pastoral Ministries, Emeritus Director, Doctor of Ministry Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary "The dynamic duo of Robinson & Robinson takes us all the way from A to Z in demonstrating how to create and then craft an expository sermon from the perspective of a biblical character. If you're bored, frustrated or tired of preaching in the same old way, pick up a copy of It's All in How You Tell It and begin to practice what it preaches. Neither you, your preaching, or your congregation will ever be the same." -Dr. Scott A. Wenig, Associate Professor of Applied Theology, Denver Seminary"Who better to write a book on crafting narrative sermons than Torrey and Haddon Robinson. Whether you are new to preaching or have been preaching for years, this book will be an invaluable resource tool in telling the 'old story' in fresh ways to a new generation." -Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, president, Moody Bible Institute "Mixing exegetical and historical detail with imaginative insight, the authors show how to present biblical truths in a fresh and compelling way--through first-person dramatic narratives. They skillfully take the reader through the steps--selecting the character, doing the research, determining the "stance," and developing the flow. Discussions of costuming and staging add the final touches. Their s

SynopsisPastors are continually looking for resources to make their preaching more powerful and culturally relevant. Old-school models based on three-point outlines do not resonate with today's churchgoers, who are accustomed to media-driven modes of expression. It's All in How You Tell It provides the tools and insights necessary to help both veteran and novice preachers move from ineffective habits into adrenaline-pumping, dramatic sermon delivery. They will learn to preach by retelling a scriptural account from the vantage point of a biblical character-combining the power of drama with God's Word. Nationally known preaching expert Haddon W. Robinson and his son, Torrey, examine issues such as exegeting a text for a first-person approach, structuring a narrative sermon, determining how to portray biblical characters, and staging and delivering the sermon itself. With this book seminary and Bible college students have the opportunity to build foundations for engaging, story-filled preaching ministries. The end result will be more preachers who "love to tell the story" and more church members who are hungry to hear it., This fresh approach to preaching shows how to combine God's Word with the power of drama to develop a unique, relevant, and effective preaching style.
