Tony Campolo is recognized as one of the Christian subcultures most effective speakers. Hes a riveting communicator who knows exactly how to frame his speeches so that they connect with his audience, using humor, poignant and engaging stories, and personal charm. Mary Darling, who was his coauthor on The God of Intimacy and Action, is a spiritual director who also teaches speech communication at Spring Arbor University (a Christian school in Michigan) and is a skillful teacher in her own right. They have teamed up again to write a book to explore the connection between spirituality/spiritual practices and the ability to communicate passionately and effectively. Since so much of what goes on in churches and other religious organizations has to do with communication (speaking and preaching), readers will be eager to hear Campolos secrets and Marys intelligent counsel on what many people find to be frightening or just plain difficult to do well.

Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
