title: Rebuilding Your Message: Practical Tools to Strengthen Your Preaching and Teaching (Rebuilt Parish Book)
author:  Michael White 
description: "Not only preachers and teachers but <i>every</i> parish leader and engaged Catholic should read this book. White and Corcoran show us how to communicate so that outsiders feel welcome, insiders grow as disciples, and the Good News of Jesus Christ is unmistakably heard. Here are more great tools for the New Evangelization!" --<b>Most Rev. Thomas Wenski</b>, Archbishop of Miami<br /><br />"Communication is everything and everything is communication. I wish I had read this book eighteen years ago as I was starting out in parish ministry. Read this book, absorb it, and take control of your message!"--<b>Rev. James Mallon</b>, Author of <i>Divine Renovation</i><br /><br />"In my fifty years of priesthood, I've met few who match the creativity and insight of Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran about parish ministry. Theirs is an exciting path to watch and by which we can all come to recognize that Christ is alive and with us in our midst. He is in our communities--alleluia!" --<b>Msgr. Lloyd Torgerson</b>, Pastor of Saint Monica Catholic Community, Santa Monica, CA<br /><br />"White and Corcoran are at it again! Thanks be to God! Wisely convinced that what the Church does not need any more of is mediocrity in parish life, they use their creative, innovative style to make the Gospel of Jesus accessible to the people of God. If you're passionate about finding new ways of messaging and thus building the Kingdom of God in your parish, then this is a must-read. These are two wickedly talented guys who the Church needs more of!" --<b>Rev. Tom Hurley</b>, Pastor of Old St. Patrick's Church, Chicago, IL <br /><br />"'We are the Church' is a conviction that has shaped the religious imagination of so many Catholics today. <i>Rebuilding Your Message</i> offers a clear vision and practical strategies for realizing that hope. Focused here on preaching and teaching, White and Corcoran address priests, deacons, staff, volunteers, and parishioners and once again give us a book to inspire, equip, and engage our leaders." --<b>Zeni V. Fox</b>, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Seton Hall University<br /><br />"What impresses me most is the eminent practicality of this book. White and Corcoran consider the ministry of the Word from every angle and remind us of facets of this ministry that are often overlooked. If every preacher and teacher took the crafting of their messages as intentionally as they do, the Catholic Church would be a far better place." --<b>Ann M. Garrido</b>, Associate Professor of Homiletics at Aquinas Institute of Theology, Author of <i>Redeeming Administration</i><br /><br />"Once again White and Corcoran have knocked the ball out of the park with a practical, earthbound book that takes us to the heart of the matter--speaking the Gospel in ways that it can be heard clearly today. Their gift for putting into words what lies on the tip of the tongue for so many in ministry today makes this book refreshingly realistic and profoundly encouraging." --<b>Claire Henning</b>, Executive Director of Parish Catalyst
zlib_text: It’s often said that the pulpit drives the church. Often overlooked is the
  role of gifted, godly teachers and leaders of small groups. The church needs
  not only pastors and preachers who point us to Jesus, but also teachers and
  leaders who overflow with love for Christ and love for the lost. Gospel-
  Centered Teaching will help accomplish this important goal. Superbly written,
  it is an accessible and helpful guide for leaders who want to ensure that
  their teaching of the written Word is always pointing others to the Living
  Word. This will be an extremely valuable tool for the building up of the body
  of Christ.
