Talking ourselves into being Christian -- Can I get a witness? -- Sunday words -- First light -- Walking the walk, talking the talk -- The six o'clock news -- Whispered secrets and bedtime prayers -- A last word.
In this groundbreaking book, Thomas G. Long -- a theologian and respected authority on preaching—explores how Christians talk when they are not in church. Testimony breaks the stained-glass image of religious language to show how ordinary talking in our everyday lives -- talk across the backyard fence, talk with our kids, talk about politics and the events of the day -- can be sacred speech. In a world of spin, slick marketing, mindless chatter, and easy deceptions, Testimony shows that the hunger for truthful, meaningful, and compassionate speech is ultimately grounded in truth about God.
