Perfect Illustrations for Every Topic and Occasion (Perfect Illustration Series)

A good book with many illustrations. I've already used a few in my preaching as they really make the point real.

Works great for small groups, bible studies, devotion time, and even message ideas.

I use it in my ministry.

This has been an indispensable part of my preaching preparation for over a year. The illustrations vary: some are jokes but more are serious, some are parables but more are life anecdotes. The majority of the illustrations are fresh and relevant. All include full citation info - who said it, when, and where it was previously published.What makes this volume so useful is the indexing. All illustrations are categorized by their major theme. Two indexes at the back list (a) illustrations by related scripture, and (b) illustrations categorized by alternate themes. It is actually easier for me to find things in the paper edition than using the included computer program on CD.Sprinkling one of these anecdotes into my sermons every week or two has improved the quality of my message. My congregation often uses the story as a hook to remember what I say.

Tons of great material

Alphabetically listed stories, jokes and quips that are useful for preaching and teaching. Also comes with a CD for easy search.I have used it and taken a few stories that help to illustrate my talks.Recommended.
