The Art of Reciting Scripture by Thomas L Griffin

The Art of Reciting Scripture is a rich resource that speaks directly to people who are either planning, or considering, to recite Scripture. The emphasis is on using a recitation event as the springboard for discipleship, basing the preparation process on the activities of a discipleship group. This book teaches the importance of honest communication in presenting Scriptural truth and to resist the tendency to make recitation into a show. Among the techniques is how to best overcome nervousness and an awkward delivery so that the message comes out as easily as exhaling the next breath. Recitation allows every member of the congregation to contribute to the church family--and to anyone who will listen. If you have been on the sidelines too long, or if you would love to get closer to the Word, you owe it to us all to decide to recite and get started on this intense and rewarding journey.

Tom is the founder of By Heart Recitation Ministry (https: //byHeart.org) and has led hundreds of people through the process of preparing and delivering a recitation of Scripture. His desire is to make the Bible more accessible and meaningful by speaking it in a way that is natural and clear while staying true to the original intent. A native Californian, Tom now lives in Frankfurt Germany, coordinating recitations at the International Christian Fellowship and reaching out through a world-wide network of the faithful to develop recitation ministries.
