Art of Eloquence is all about sharing the Communication FUNdamentals and we do that each year in creative and unique ways.

That is to say, we give away a TON of information and free gifts each year. One of the ways we love to serve is by hosting various seminars throughout the year on the Art of Eloquence Workshop and Seminar Channel on TalkShoe!

Well, I've written articles about grace in politics and faith before, but it struck me that I never did start at the beginning. In order to start a movement for world grace, I think it needs to begin with something more universal and easier...
Every Sunday is Defending the Faith SONday here at Communication FUNdamentals. In the last few days there have been a few stories of faith in the news. I thought I'd share some with you. I received an article on Breaking Christian News that shows how God uses the talents and creativity He gives His children to bring folks to Himself. The original story was on Assist News.net. Take a look at a few snippets: "(TOKYO, JAPAN)—Who would have believed that Sister Act, the 1992 movie starring Whoopi Goldberg "on the run, disguised as a nun," would inspire the formation of some 30 Japanese Gospel choirs."
