In Don’t Drop the Mic， T。D。 Jakes explored the power of communication and how we can be better at speaking， using our body language， and presenting ourselves to others。 He has been preaching for countless years and he has learned what works and what doesn’t。 He called this book drop the mic because he wants to guide readers into gearing up for their drop the mic performance in their own speeches。 First， he shared how his father was a hard worker and rarely stopped what he was doing。 Jakes notice In Don’t Drop the Mic， T。D。 Jakes explored the power of communication and how we can be better at speaking， using our body language， and presenting ourselves to others。 He has been preaching for countless years and he has learned what works and what doesn’t。 He called this book drop the mic because he wants to guide readers into gearing up for their drop the mic performance in their own speeches。 First， he shared how his father was a hard worker and rarely stopped what he was doing。 Jakes noticed how one day he stopped in his tracks what he was doing to watch the famous speech from Dr。 Martin Luther King。 He explained how the world listened to his speech and he saw the power of the microsphere and how it can help change the world。 Jakes also looked at the Bible and how there is power of life and death in our tongue。 Throughout the book， he looked at the pregnant pause， body language， delivering your message， handling the fear factor， the promise of practice， and the process of preaching。 In the book， he also teamed up with Dr。 Frank Thomas， who is a pastor and a renowned scholar who will also share his own stories in a few chapters in the book。 He uses a cooking metaphor to discuss how to be a better communicator and how we can apply the same principles we use for cooking to analyze our own message。 I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is wanting to become a preacher but also to anyone who has to give a speech or delivering a message to an audience。 He explained that this book is to the job interviewer， businessman/woman， performance on stage， teacher， preacher， and communicating with others。 I immensely loved how he covered all aspects of communication and how to deliver a message that has impact。 One of my favorite areas， he covered was the topic of sound check and when he discussed perfectionism and how he had to deal with his own challenges。 He had to also learn to let go and accept that no matter how hard we try to get the speech correctly， there will always be something we wish we could have done or said better。 We can learn from our experiences and use the construction feedback and try and improve what we can。 I also appreciated all the tips and how he took readers through the different areas of how he learned to preach and how he dealt with his own challenges and how he was able to become a better communicator。 I also enjoyed how the used stories in the Bible to convey how they experienced their own drop the mic moments， such as David。 I also enjoyed in the appendix Dr。 Thomas’ analysis of one of Jakes sermon and what we can learn from using the principles in this book to become better communicators。 "I received this book free from the publisher， Hachette Book Group/Faithwords for my honest review。” 。。。more

I really wanted to like this book after reading the first chapters。 Then it changed in my opinion。 The book is supposed to be a How To writing where the famous bishop informs the reader how he approaches writing sermons and public speaking。 After a few chapters， he book seemed to have a political stance， using praises for Oprah， Obama， and others where he states that people can't dispute how wonderful of speakers these people are。 He then gives some of the topics， such as knowing your audience's I really wanted to like this book after reading the first chapters。 Then it changed in my opinion。 The book is supposed to be a How To writing where the famous bishop informs the reader how he approaches writing sermons and public speaking。 After a few chapters， he book seemed to have a political stance， using praises for Oprah， Obama， and others where he states that people can't dispute how wonderful of speakers these people are。 He then gives some of the topics， such as knowing your audience's background as something pastors need to be aware of when giving sermons。 He ignores that fact that The Bible has points and some black and white topics that are not to be watered down， and it seems like he encourages the pastors to do just that instead of just following the Biblical text for what it is stated， and not due to offending an audience。 There is limited Biblical text in the writing， and is quite lengthy。 The last several chapters are written by his friend， a man who came up with the idea for the book topic。 As a former speech teacher， I found some points basic in format that one could get in a normal textbook， and yet other parts contradict what was stated earlier。 For an In depth review， visit my page at : https://lancewrites。wordpress。com/202。。。 。。。more

The way in which one speaks makes all the difference in the world。 Whether gearing up to discuss a TedX Talk or creating an invigorating speech for the ages -tone matters， confidence matters， the agility and temperament matters， the knowledge of the subject matters， the authenticity and character of the individual matters。What I enjoy about T。D。 Jakes is he always is re-inventing himself。 He never stays stationary and is always willing to go that extra step to ensure that others comprehend， hono The way in which one speaks makes all the difference in the world。 Whether gearing up to discuss a TedX Talk or creating an invigorating speech for the ages -tone matters， confidence matters， the agility and temperament matters， the knowledge of the subject matters， the authenticity and character of the individual matters。What I enjoy about T。D。 Jakes is he always is re-inventing himself。 He never stays stationary and is always willing to go that extra step to ensure that others comprehend， honor， and respect him but also that they understand and appreciate their god given gifts。We all have them but are we using them？ This my friends is the question。Because when we wake up in the morning we can't think of the past but rather our present and how we intend to grapple with the world we have before us- in the here and now -in present form。Don't Drop the Mic isn't just about listening， it's comprehending， reinforcing， and reestablishing those boundaries and goals。In the day of Covid pandemics many of us have lost our way。 We seek leaders for their authority and power。 We look to officials to guide our way。 We look to others to simply here，" I'm in it with you。 You're not alone！" Contradictions， corruptions， injustices， racism， social inequality-there's always something on our plate that we need to address and inherently process。Preaching is like an art form and you must develop- hone in- and create a wonderful work of art。Considering the needs of others is paramount as simply talking without relative and pertinent information to tackle is meaningless。 Where do you seek inspiration？ Do you branch out of your norm- The miracle is always in your message。Yet， how do you bring that message to fruition？The power of God's love is all around us。 God's love has the ability to override human flaws such as ignorance， violence， fear， anger， and yes， even personal biases and or myths。Hope is our common denominator in unity and forgiveness。 Hope that showcases our trajectory forward and further away from our past as learned lessons to build upon and restore humanity。Another great aspect of T。D。 Jakes was his discussion surrounding the 'pregnant pause' and the written word and the relationship they have in story telling as it may be during preaching sermons， community events， or just general audience participation gatherings。Your energy， the enthusiasm you illicit， the grasp of your material goes a long way to healing and soul searching。Moving from textures to colors， gliding between serpent-to-dove dexterity， and creating that element of show and awe value is what we're after in transcending ordinary to extraordinary。Elevating a normal preaching segway into the end of the Earth revolution。Simply put- Use what God has given you and build upon it！Communication is key not just loud noise for the sake of argument。You don't win an argument without some form of listening， comprehension， and reverberating themes surrounding truths。Truth isn't always easy to accept but it must be welcomed！"The intricacy of a manner of preaching is not exclusively bound up in explanations and definitions， but in taste， efficacy， and the transformative power of the sermon to touch and move the human heart。" It's important to note here that， " No cook or preacher is greater than the tradition from which they were birthed。"It's all about turning one's plight or vision of hopelessness into hope。 How prepared are you？ Are you fully utilizing more than just your mouth？ Are you engaging everyone in the broadest of terms？ Are you honest in your engagement？These are questions that must be addressed in order to be a successful and engaging speaker。Recipes， ingredients， and elements of nature all must come together and be effective at getting your message out there， heard， and understood。Love， this new work and hope you find this review as thoughtful and reflective as possible。Thank you to T。D。 Jakes， Faith Words， NetGalley， and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review。 。。。more
