The author researched the sermons and books of each preacher and found that positive preaching is a form of cognitive psychotherapy as developed by Aaron Beck of the University of Pennsylvania. The conclusions of the paper propose that these preachers are successful because: they address the everday concerns of people; they provide a note of hope; they tell stories and anecdotes in abundance; they speak effectively to both sacred and secular worlds; they emphasize their listeners' ability to relate to God in a spiritual, life-changing way; they use the science of psychology to promote healing, their sermons and books becoming counseling on a group scale.
