Nelson's Complete book of Stories

This book is well organized and has up-to-date illustrations for many topics that are relevant today for speakers. I know that we will enjoy this book for many years to come.

Wonderful Resource

This is a wonderful resource of stories. Filled with tons of topics to pick from. It does have a religious tone to some of them, but usually it is added at the end, so you can easily leave it out. So it is for all speakers.I have several other books of this type - and it is by far the best. I am glad I got it.

Great for what it is.

I am a Corporate Trainer & am always in search of a poignant story and the like to add to a presentation. Although this book is well organized & quite extensive most every quote is directed to the Christian perspective. The book is one of the best that I have seen with this type of subject matter, but I will not be able to use it in my profession because of the religious content. I have in fact passed this book on to my sister whom is involved in Christian Retreats and is a speaker at those events. I also showed the book to my pastor and he will be ordering one shortly. Well organized, extensive on the subject matter and excellent stories abound inside. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for this type of materiel.

An essential book that's fun to read

Robert J. Morgan has done an outstanding job of collecting and organizing stories, quotations and anecdotes into an indispensable tool for the public speaker. This book is especially helpful for the preacher or teacher, but it would also be great just to read! Each selection is followed by space to record the date, place and occasion of when it was used.This book would be a wonderful gift for anyone who does public speaking or teaching.
