Preaching Illustrations from Church History: Expanded Edition

“This is a priceless treasury of illustrative vignettes culled from church history. The anecdotes themselves make profitable, edifying reading. As sermon illustrations, they are provocative and effective. Their greatest benefit is that they will promote a deeper interest and a more thorough knowledge of church history among pastors and lay people alike. I love how Ron Prosise has catalogued and thoroughly documented this material so as to be eminently useful for preachers. This is by far the best of all the recent illustration books I have seen.” —John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Teacher, Grace to You “Historical examples are one of our primary sources for sermon illustrations. Ron Prosise provides a treasure trove of these, arranged by topic so that they may be readily identified and appropriately adapted for contemporary purposes.” —Bryan Chapell, Author, Christ-Centered Preaching and Using Illustrations to Preach with Power “The book is exactly what the title implies, a book full of potential sermon illustrations taken from church history, but to me that is not its true value. This book is full of pithy statements from and short vignettes about titans of the faith, some well-known and some obscure. Reading one or two of these a day is enriching and encouraging, whether you preach or not. If you preach this will be a great resource to help you craft your sermons, and if not, this book will encourage your heart and deepen your walk with the Lord. —John Chester, Pastor, Piedmont Bible Church, Haymarket, Virginia Preacher and homiletics professor Steve Brown said, “If you get one good illustration out of an illustration book, it’s worth every dime you paid for it.” Preaching Illustrations from Church History, Expanded Edition is a ready reference of over four hundred and fifty choice illustrations, carefully documented for use in preaching and teaching. —- ISBN: 9798440575554 | ISBN10: B0BK51N8VM | ISBN-13: 979-8440575554
