Description
As a speaker or teacher, you want nothing more than to have an effective impact on your audience. Your heart longs for them to walk away feeling as if they have just had a life-changing revelation. In order for that to happen though, there are simple principles you as a speaker need to employ in your ministry. Called to Speak is a valuable collection of essential principles to help you grow into the effective, life-changing orator God wants to empower.
Called to Speak uniquely addresses the practical call of a communicator to speak for the kingdom of God. Based on years of experience by two veteran women's ministry speakers, Called to Speak is peppered with personal stories and encouraging Scripture. Containing practical tips, each chapter also ends with inspiring questions to help the existing women’s ministry teacher and speaker hone their skills while at the same time helping novice speakers answer the call to speak or teach.
Called to Speak is a companion resource to Called to Write, also published by the same authors with the intent of helping writers refine their missional focus through the written word.

I have been a public speaker my entire adult life and quite often someone in the audience will approach me with "I want to do what you do. Where do I begin?" I am delighted to say that now I will always answer with "Begin by reading my friends Linda Gilden and Edna Ellison's new book "Called to Speak!" How marvelous to have a primer that contains all the information and inspiration for both beginning and seasoned communicators. I especially appreciate the care these authors have taken to encourage speakers in confirming our commitment and calling in Christ. Numerous practical details help us in the craft, prayer and perseverance help us keep the Gospel message on track both in our words and our lives. Each of us has been given a unique Story -- a message to share with a hurting world. Don't you want to be part of God's Kingdom work and share your story? Then read this book, pray, and get to work! Pursue your purpose and allow God to open the doors and bring the fruit. ~ Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author "Dwelling Places," co-director "reNEW ~ retreat for New England Writing,"

I was given a copy of Callec to Speak Practica, Tips got Women's Ministry Speakers and Teachers through the publisher and their partnership with Netgalley in exchange for my honest review which is as follows:
This book reminds us that we all have a special skill to share and we can use that to help when we are Called to Speak in a Women's Ministry setting. This book reminds us too to think about how what we talk about helps those grow in Christ and to think of the impact we have in people's lives.
I would recommend this book to any women who feels the calling to speak in Women's Ministry.
I give Called to Speak five out of five stars.
Happy Reading.
