Waiting on the Word is an exploration of the gift of preaching and of becoming an effective communicator - someone who is able to connect with people's innate desire for God. In an age of soundbites and information overload, Lorraine Cavanagh believes that we can lose sight of God's real work in the world. Through waiting on the Word that abides in the preacher's own heart, and in the hearts of the people, the preacher can learn to speak the deep truth which comes with knowing God and which will teach and inspire. This unique book also gives practical advice for dealing with conflicting emotions, resistance and passive aggression, as well as for improving voice projection and the confident use of space.
