The Art of Speech Communication

Speech communication involves the ability to understand and be understood. One of life's most important functions is the ability to communicate effectively with others. Communication gets you hired, makes your ideas more powerful, and allows you to change this world for the better. Becoming a better speaker involves learning to get your ideas across to others in an easy-to-understand, interesting way. Speaking with a Purpose is designed to assist you in learning to prepare, organize, and deliver well-received speeches and presentations. Good speakers are not born with the ability to speak effectively; they develop the ability to speak well as the result of commitment and hard work. The key to success in speaking is practice. The more speeches that you prepare and present successfully, the more proficient, relaxed, and confident you will become.
Further, speech communication is a vital skill that transcends time and culture. From the dawn of creation, the power of words has been evident. In the Bible, God spoke the world into existence (Genesis 1:3), highlighting the profound impact of speech. My book, The Art of Speech Communication, explores the art of speech communication through a biblical lens, emphasizing principles and Practices that align with Christian values
