Great Illustration Books

I am always looking for great illustration books. I began using the Hot Illustrations as a youth pastor. Now that I am a senior pastor, I still have not found any better. The stories are always great.

Not Just for Youth Groups Anymore

The students in my high school English classes love the stories in this book. I use the stories to introduce a piece of literature or to reinforce literature read. Not only do the students enjoy it, but they are also subtly receiving character/moral/values lessons without even realizing it. I would highly recommend this book for both those who work with teens in either a Christian or secular environment.
