### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Book, I strongly disagree with its detractors
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2012*

I think our friends who rated this book low are individuals who seem to subscribe to a Western-Euro homiletical style.  That is to say, it's a direct presentation of information. To each his own.Other cultures have a more storytelling form of preaching and they do not lack in strong theology, doctrine, or actionable life principles.Lowry teaches sermon crafting in manner that engages the pathos and ethos.  One great preacher, Noel Jones, put it like this, "Who goes to a movie and the plot is reveal in the first 30 seconds of the film?Why would you stay?"  He also gave the analogy of watching "The Lone Ranger" each week.  What he said was, "each week you knew the Lone Ranger would get into trouble, get out of trouble, and save the day.You tuned in because you wanted to see how much trouble he got into and how he got out of it."  He went on to say, "every Sunday we know Jesus is going win.However, we show up week to experience the way in which gospel gets us out of trouble and Jesus is victorious."Lowry's method engages both ethos and pathos and allows the hearer to participate in the grace of the gospel on both a cognitive and emotive level.We know Jesus wins, Our faith is strengthened by participating in the word by hearing how He does it.  In Deuteronomy, Moses gave both legal instruction as well as gave a narrative of the exploits of God ashe prepared Israel to enter into Canaan.No sermon can be a purely intellectual presentation.  People take more actions based on feeling that intellect.  Narrative preaching engages the hearers on multiple levels.Narrative preaching does not eliminate the blunt and straight forward.Once an individual is invested on an intellectual and emotive level, she/he is ripe to be confronted with the blunt and straightforward truth of doctrine.Life is narrative. You go home to your spouses and tell the STORIES of what happened at work today, not the bullet point details and principles.We live by a narrative.  We are shaped as a nation and a people by the story of our history (Stanley Hauerwas).In addition, the bible is written in mostly narrative and poetry. I ask, why one earth would a preacher a problem with a narrative style of preaching?

    It's great for plotting the Gospel message.

I disliked all of the torn pages. The book is new which is my understanding.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Dissipated
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2023*

What began as a very promising thesis steadily dissolved into a welter of liberal cliches. The irony is not small that a book about retaining interest through the suspense of narrative form should dissipate its force steadily as the book goes on. This is a thesis that needs to be taken up by a staunchly evangelical author, committed to expository preaching.
