    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book as I've recently been exploring the possibility of moving away from preaching with a manuscript to preaching without notes.  I completed the book three weeks ago and have yet to preach a sermon without notes....So I cannot yet testify to the effectiveness of the author's presentation.  <br/><br/>Part of the problem is the author contends that the practice of preaching without notes requires a shift in the weekly preparation process.  After reading the book, I felt it would be far too difficult to immediately shift my weekly preparation process in order to accommodate Webb's suggested practice.<br/><br/>Over the past two weeks, I have begun to implement a few of Webb's suggestions and have found the ability to move away from preaching with a manuscript to preaching with a two page set of notes.  Perhaps over the summer I'll be brave enough to implement the rest of Webb's suggestions.  <br/><br/><br/>]]></body>
