Illustrations of Bible Truths (Bible Illustrations Series)

Rating:
Summary: A solid reference of value, but not much zing.
Review: The book is well organized and contains multiple illustrations of each highlighed Scriptural truth or principle. I was disappointed that many of them were quite dated (quotes from Spurgeon, Luther, and Wesley abound). If your audience isn't theologically literate to start with, many of the illustrations will have little meaning to them. The good news is that most of the examples can be translated into more comtemporary language. And with so many illustrations to choose from there should be something to suit your need.
