I'm writing this book to fix one side of that equation: your side, writes seasoned broadcaster and pastor Steve Brown. I want you to talk better, to talk so people will listen. Now available in paperback and on audiocassette, this book is filled with practical tips for becoming a better communicator.

Brown allows you to walk step-by-step with him as he shares perspectives and lessons from a lifetime of trial and a whole lot of error.
