1001 Quotes, Illustrations, and Humorous Stories for Preachers, Teachers, and Writers

Book Overview

Anyone who speaks for a living knows that at some point you just run out of relevant stories to tell. And there's nothing more embarrassing to a preacher or teacher than a listener pointing out to them that they've heard that story three or four times. This volume compiles quotes, idea starters, and illustrations to present speeches and lessons.

a useful tool

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.
