If the apostle Paul had not punctuated his words with images of
the armor of God or the racecourse, would we so easily remember his
instruction? The march on Washington might have become nothing more
than a ragged hike across a majestic mall if Martin Luther King,
Jr. had not led us through a "dream" and onto a "mountaintop."
Such is the power of illustrations. They contain a hidden
dynamic of living that captures our attention and furthers our
understanding in a way that no other sermonic tool can match. Can
they be overused and their purpose abused? Yes--and by many they
are. But to eliminate them completely would be unwise, maintains
Bryan Chapell.
Instead, he responds to those concerns by reviewing the theory
behind illustrations, sharing why they're important, and
demonstrating how you can use them effectively in your biblical
preaching. This book clearly affirms that illustrations are
integral to powerful preaching--not because they entertain but
because they expand and deepen applications in the lives of your
listeners. They infuse your words with life without comprising the
message, making the truth of the Word ring clearly in people's
hearts long after your sermon is done.
