Review: A Book Every Pastor & Communicator Should Read - Everyone talks. This is an indisputable fact. If you are a pastor or a leader, you talk, a lot. But is anyone listening? Do you connect with the people you are talking to? That's the point of Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People do Differently by John Maxwell, this week's Saturday book review. If you've ever read a book by Maxwell, you know you are in for a bunch of one liners, a ton of quotes and a bazillion stories. When it comes to communicating, I can't think of a better way to get the point(s) across. It is a fast read with a ton of great content on how to connect with the people you are communicating with. Whether that is one-on-one, in a small group or in front of an audience. He even gives some of his tips on how to connect through writing. The bottom line of communication is that the ones who connect are the ones who inspire people to take action. The goal of preaching is not to pass on information, but to inspire change, to move people forward in their relationship with Jesus, to take that next step, to start following Jesus, to become the person God created them to be. I loved this from Maxwell, "I think of myself as a motivational teacher, not a motivational speaker. What’s the difference between the two? A motivational speaker makes you feel good, but the next day you’re not sure why. A motivational teacher makes you feel good, and the next day you know why and take action. In other words, the first kind of communicator wants you to feel good, and the second wants you to do good." Here are a few things that jumped out in the book: -Connecting is everything when it comes to communication. -Good communication and leadership are all about connecting. -Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them. successful presidents exhibit five qualities that enable them to achieve things that others don’t: vision, pragmatism, consensus building, charisma, and trustworthiness. -To succeed with other people, you need to be able to connect. -Those who build great companies understand that the ultimate throttle on growth for any great company is not markets, or technology, or competition, or products. It is the one thing above all others—the ability to get and keep enough of the right people. -Whenever people take action, they do so for their reasons, not yours or mine. -Any message you try to convey must contain a piece of you. You can’t just deliver words. You can’t merely convey information. --You need to be more than just a messenger. You must be the message you want to deliver. -If you want to win over another person, first win his heart, and the rest of him is likely to follow. -I’ve learned that if you want people to be impressed, you can talk about your successes; but if you want people to identify with you, it’s better to talk about your failures. -The “Four Unpardonable Sins of a Communicator”: being unprepared, uncommitted, uninteresting, or uncomfortable. -When a speaker doesn’t say something with conviction, we remain unconvinced. -If I had to pick a first rule of communication—the practice above all others that opens the door to connection with others— it would be to look for common ground. -Effective communication takes people on a journey. We cannot take others on that journey unless we start where they are. Only then can we connect and try to lead them where we want to take them. -As leaders and communicators, our job is to bring clarity to a subject, not complexity. -Good teachers know that the fundamental law of learning is repetition. -People pay attention when something that is said connects with something they greatly desire. -Good communicators understand that people do things for their own reasons, not for the reasons of the person doing the talking. -Inspiring communicators always expect a lot from their listeners. -If we treat people as who they can become, they will be inspired to rise to the level of our expectations. -Vision without passion is a picture without possibilities. Vision alone does not inspire change. It must be strengthened by passion. -Connectors inspire people to move from “know how” to “do now. As I said, if you are a pastor, leader or communicator, this is a book you should read. Highly recommend it. Review: Get This Book!!! - If you're a speaker, author, business owner, or involved with customer service, then you need to get this book! I Love how John Maxwell teaches in his books. "Everyone Communicates, Few Connect" is rich with knowledge. One of my favorite quotes is, "Talk is easy. Everybody talks. The question is, how can you make your words count?" ~ John C. Maxwell One of the things that I've learned from being a minister and an author is that it's all about CONNECTION. John defines connecting as "the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them." You can speak before an audience and everybody hears you...but how many of them CONNECTED. Everyone can read your book, but how many of them actually CONNECTED with what you wrote. You can build an email "list" all you want, but if you do not make a CONNECTION, then you're just junk mail. You're just someone who has a big "list". John also quoted, "One of the best ways to learn how to connect with an audience is to observe communicators who are good at it. Learn from them and adopt what you can into your own style." Take John's advice and get this book. He's a great communicator to learn from. The information in this book has helped me as a businessman, minister, and an author to go to the next level. If you're serious about connecting with people, then get this book! ~ Author Billie Miller www.BillieMiller.com ## Features - Effective People - Personal Success - Keys to - Communication - Business ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,566 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Christian Church Leadership (Books) #41 in Business Education & Reference (Books) #42 in Communication Skills | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,700 Reviews | ## Images ![Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What the Most Effective People Do Differently - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7119ZZ1w4rL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Book Every Pastor & Communicator Should Read *by J***H on November 18, 2013* Everyone talks.
