A Practical Guide to Listening to Sermons

Whether you are primarily a preacher of God's Word or a listener of God's Word preached, Christopher Ash's little booklet, Listen Up! A Practical Guide to Listening to Sermons, is a valuable resource for you and your church. Phil Dunn has a helpful review of it here at the Unashamed Workman blog. Here is his conclusion:
In summary then, I can't speak highly enough of this little booklet. I honestly can't imagine anyone reading it and not finding it immensely helpful (and that includes older Christians too). Are there any drawbacks – well, I really couldn’t think of any! It’s short (only takes about 5-10 minutes to read), it’s clearly laid out, and it’s easy to understand. And if the reader takes the content to heart he/she is bound to benefit and enjoy God's word much more. My advice – grab a copy for yourself – or even better get one for each member at your church!
