When I first started reading If Jesus Gave a TED Talk, I thought it was just another book on public speaking. Boy, was I wrong! Stone's insights from neuroscience made this book so much more than I expected. Every public speaker will benefit from this book as they learn how their listener's brain interacts with their talks. It's a secret weapon to break through communication barriers. I wish I had this information when I started ministry more than 20 years ago.
