Synopsis
An effective preacher needs an effective listener, says Walter Burghardt, acclaimed as one of the country's best homilists. Here he sits "on the other side of the rail" to explain how to listen effectively to the Word and its sermon. He describes what the "just Word" is - God's plan for salvation taking place within a single community. Burghardt then goes on to encourage readers to listen more deeply to what Jesus is saying, to what the Church is saying, to what the world is saying - and to respond to what we hear. Written for a wide ecumenical audience, this book provides insight for both the people "in the pew" and the preacher who's trying to reach them. It-- --connects the Word to situations torn from today's headlines --gently prompts readers to responsible action --shows how listening is an act of love, an act of being human --presents key principles for effective listening --ends with the Trinity as a model for relationship
