Signs Of The Times

Plot

Church leaders and speakers often find themselves asking the question: Where can I find new and meaningful illustrations? Here, for the first time, is an amazing 2,031 page encyclopedia of fresh and unusual illustrations. Its 7,700 unforgettable anecdotes are carefully gleaned from the author's vast collection of over 20,000 church-tested sermon materials. Christ centered anecdotes, real life happenings, current events with special interest, fascinating records, proverbs and epigrams, unusual items from history and the daily news - these and more are now arranged into one comprehensive yet handy volume. There is a computer-gathered, 350-page GENERAL INDEX at the end of this book. And thousands of handy cross references are scattered all over the volume. Pastors, speakers, Sunday school teachers, and even local Christians everywhere will find this Encyclopedia a surprisingly complete reference and idea book. No other book in print exceeds this thick compilation of up to the minute, exciting, and highly usable illustrations . Dr. Tan speaks in the Preface: "The materials in this volume have first enriched and edified my own life. Few are the occasions when I have not been touched to tears over an illustration in the files. And the spiritual uplift from these experiences has been precious. I have always wanted to have these anecdotes—compiled and edited over a period of 25 years—in a handy volume for personal use as well as for other Christian workers. This compilation of my most beloved selections is a fulfillment of these twin purposes."
