Gospel Telling to a Digital Culture D Jonathan Watts

This book provides a method for preaching in a multisensory environment. Different methods of sermon creation are explored including an approach labeled Gospeltelling: a Biblical based, exegetical, narrative style of preaching designed to relate to the digital culture. Also includes a presentation of the development and application of that method using the parable of The Prodigal Son found in Luke 15. The book is written for those seeking an understanding of church history and the development of worship. It offers a different approach to sermon development for those seeking another path to sermon preparation or those wishing to enhance their own personal method. D. Jonathan Watts, Ph.
