Customer Reviews

Not a preacher, but still good

I'm not a preacher; I'm a teacher. But I appreciated the illustrations and could easily use some of them in my teaching. I'm not sure what the reviewer was expecting who said it was almost worthless. Swindoll has been captivating audiences of thousands for many years with these very quotes and illustrations. Some have been around for a while, but that's because of their inherent power or poignancy. I think it's a good collection.

An absolutely wonderful book

I purchased this book on a whim, and WOW! I haven't been able to put the book down. When I get off work and relax in the evening, I find myself seeking time with this book, because it has so many different topics. It has given me many ideas on topics to do word studies and additional bibically based research on.

Need a Good Illustration?

I love the heartwarming stories in this book. It is a must for every preacher who from time to time struggles with finding good sermon illustrations. Moreover, it is good for any writer or public speaker. It has a place on my bookshelf!

Great for Sermon Illustrations

This book was given to me for a Christmas present and it is the best I've read! It is very difficult to put it down. Chuck combines each story or quotation with the truth of the Scriptures to create life-changing applications of power and conviction. Hundreds of illustrations are group in alphabetical order that makes it easy to find. I will be sharing it with my studentss, plus using the illustrations in sermons and Bible studies.

Addresses many situations in your spiritual life.

This book contains information that touches on many situations of life. I had a hard time putting it down. It is a compilation of poetry, wisdom and history that will not want too miss a single line. I have found it to be loaded with ice breakers during my Sunday School Class. Whether it be with comedy or emotional, it contains many topics. Enjoy, Love In Christ
