I was surprised by the level of animosity at that site. He starts talking about “Christianity” and it's like he's talking about the holocaust They don't get the point. It's all about getting the message across—whatever that “message” may be. Steve's techniques are more palatable to a “modern” audience used to video games, TV, etc… It certainly helps in my Sunday School class…

I can see your mistrust---this style of presenting is generally abused. However, read for example http://presentationzen.com or http://www.sethgodin.com/freeprize/reallybad.html.

This post is awesome @Justin@. I'm forwarding it to my buddy who was asked to do sermon using powerpoint.

I did. I even commented on it, thanking “Steve” for his attention to detail and his love for my sweater vest

HA!

Certainly! I hear what you're saying.

My point wasn't that the spoken or written word cannot access the heart, just that images tend to get to the heart more quickly. (Our culture, unfortunately, has picked up on this, which is why you see billboards around every corner, advertising this and that. For more, pick up William Romanowski's Eyes Wide Open.)

I hope you noticed that you were mentioned by Fake Steve Jobs on his blog at http://www.fakesteve.net. Congrats!

I guess it clarifies to a degree. But I may still be misunderstanding…

Sometimes for me visuals only serve to distract. I have been swept away before, emotionally and from the heart, by a great story teller who used no pictures. Only words. (I guess that is word pictures…

I am nit picking one point. But I think speaking and writing can still be more powerful if communicated well.

thanks and out
