Synopsis

Here are ten basic fundamentals of good preaching that will make anyone's homilies come alive. Drawing on their combined experience in teaching homiletics, parish ministry, and public speaking, authors Francis P. Friedl and Ed Maccauley give readers an in-depth presentation of these fundamentals, incorporating sound pastoral practice, time-tested examples, and hands-on techniques into their writing. Friedl and Maccauley focus on what a good homily should contain, how it should be organized, and how to deliver it. They cover areas critical to good speaking such as timing, gesture, content, style, use of anecdotes, and how to respond to disagreement. Their sound ministerial advice will help all who preach to sharpen and develop their skills. "Easy Ed" Macauley played basketball for the Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks, moving on to an illustrious career in sportscasting and public speaking. He is also an ordained deacon. Msgr. Francis Friedl has been a priest in the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa for over 50 years. In that time, he has been a pastor, college president, psychology instructor and public relations director.
