The Power of Speaking God's Word: How to preach memorable sermons
By Wilbur Ellsworth
Christian Focus . 44 pages. ISBN 1 85792 604 8

Ellsworth argues that preachers should not use notes, still less scripts, when preaching. His is one of the more interesting presentations because he argues for this through a deeper theoretical construct, that of 'orality', as he terms it.

This provides a contribution to the long-standing debate among homileticians as to the place of notes in preaching (though Ellsworth does not seem to be fully aware of the existence of the ongoing work here).
