 Rather disappointing October 20, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm sorry to say that this book turned out to be a disappointment to me. I am an associate pastor at a small church, and I am called upon about once a month to deliver the sermon during the main Sunday worship. A compelling story or vivid illustration can change a dull and forgetable sermon into a discourse that can touch a person's soul and change a life, and I was hoping to find such stories in this book.
Unfortunately, most of the stories found here seem rather meaningless or dull, and they often have only a weak connection to the point they are intended to illustrate. In about two years owning this book, I have only used an illustration from it twice. It seems like a waste of money.
I'm sure there are some good books of illustrations out there. This isn't one of them.

In preparing for the event of speaking to others, it is appropriate to people one's ideas with concrete illustrations. While our ideas may be our own, our communication is a shread event. A tool such as this book helps us get beyond ourselves into the mind of others. At least, we know when we pick an illustration that two people like it - me and the author.
