Speaking the Word Freely

I have recently published a book on the subject of Process Preaching called, SPEAKING THE WORD FREELY - Writing with Purpose, Preaching with Power. It is available to buy for $18.00 plus $2.00 for shipping from me directly You can send a check for $20.00 to me at 14235 288th Ave. NW. Zimmerman, MN 55398. If you have any questions you can contact me at jerlarson@visi.com. It has been a long process getting a book published. I have been working on it for 5 years. I finished the manuscript 2 years ago and showed it to an English Professor friend of mine. After looking at it he simply called me and said. "Jerry, we have to talk." What followed was another year in which I completely re-wrote and edited every paragraph of the book. In the end the manuscript was a lot better and I am very happy with it now. I published the book myself after being turned down by Fortress Press our ELCA church publisher. The publisher of the book is Tasora books and the printer is Bookmobile. com located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. They did a beautiful job of printing the book. It really does look good. The book includes a DVD demonstration disc of me orally rehearsing a sermon. Watching the DVD is a little like watching paint dry but once someone sees me doing these oral rehearsals they will see exactly how an extemporaneous delivery is achieved with the Process Preaching System. As of this date, 11/30/12 I have sold 100 books. I had 300 printed so I am still a ways away from breaking even on this project.
