As a culture, we are under the influence—distracted by the alluring glow of our mobile devices and craving the deliverables we might consume by one fleeting glance at our home screens. Some of us are addicted, and even a preacher delivering the most biblically faithful message may struggle to hold our attention. In Overcoming the Influence, Dr. Michael J. Chandler aims to equip expository preachers with delivery methods tuned for reaching a generation distracted by consumer technology. The Scriptures assign a level of responsibility to gospel orators for adjusting their delivery to meet the cognitive needs (and sometimes limitations) of their audience, and Dr. Chandler aims to assist preachers in developing a mindful delivery methodology, suited for reaching them.
