Reviews
“
This book is rich in content, with Homilies based on various gospel passages and is probably the first ever e-book published, with presentation of Homilies marked with phonetic signs and notations to show their rhythm and intonation.
Metropolitan Archbishop of Trichur
“
Printed with only a minimum number of phonetic signs and notations, I must say, this book is of great pedagogical value, will targeted to help both native and non-native speakers of English deliver homilies more intelligibly and effectively.
Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Thrissur
“
The e-book comes in handy for preachers of homilies. With phonetics markings of the characteristic rhythm and the appropriate tones to be used in each sentence/utterance in the homilies in the book, the authors have accomplished a very difficult task, so brilliantly to their credit.

“
I am certain that homilies in the e-book will touch the hearts of the people. The uniqueness of this e-book is that it helps a preacher to communicate the homilies in English with accent, rhythm and intonation. Fr Jose has prepared it from years of his teaching experience in communicative English.
Rector, Samanvaya Theology College, Bhopal

This e-book is a helpful matrix for those who thirst for the profundity of the word of God. Each homily is a masterpiece on its own with a meticulous and succinct simplification of the gospels coupled with the guidelines for the speech rhythm and intonation of the language.
Rector, Carmel Vidya Bhavan, Pune
“
This book is a well-conceived one and I daresay, the first-ever of its kind in the field of Evangelization. It is a serious and substantial work based on various gospel passages/verses aimed at the enabling deliverers of homilies in English to do it more intelligibly and effectively.
