Live, Listen, Tell: The Art of Preaching
Overview
Live, Listen, Tell: The Art of Preaching will guide readers through the process of sermon preparation and hearing God through the Scriptures. By drawing on life and Scripture, especially the road to Emmaus narrative in Luke 24, the author illustrates that preachers are living a story, listening to a story and telling a story. This book encourages you to pay particular attention, through prayer, to the story to which you are listening. Geoff New shows how to prayerfully listen to the Scriptures in preaching preparation and how the fruit of this leads to a sermon—and impacts the way we live, listen and tell.

As preachers, we tell others what we have seen and heard through listening to the story of Jesus. If we listen well, we will have wonderful stories to tell others.” (Page 17)
