Improving our church’s public bible reading - with Simon Camilleri

We put lots of emphasis and training into becoming better teachers.  But how can we improve the clarity, comprehension, conviction and confidence in public reading?

Bad public bible reading is too soft, too fast, with mispronunciations, lack of preparation, bad pausing, emotionless,  lacking understanding of the text, monotone and mono speed.

Good public bible reading is faithful to text, without errors, understands context, has good eye contact, articulation, conviction, flow.
