Title: Uses too much verbage; and, beats around the bush.
Review: The author includes a quote about two men: one knows what to say but doesn't know how to say it; the other knows how to say it, but has nothing to say. I find him guilty of the former. A classic example of academic verbage when a more simple vocabulary and a more direct approach would have been helpful. I remember hearing a sermon much like this book one Sunday; and, as I was leaving the Church a man in front of me said: "Pastor, when I come to Church, I deserve to be shot at and hit." If he had dumbed it up, the book could have been half as long and more interesting to read. I'm surprised Fred Craddock was not more critical in his foreward to the book; I think he was being kind to a fellow colleage. I don't really recommend the book.
