Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Sermon Illustration Every preacher covets the power to illustrate his sermons and addresses. Few preachers possess it in any marked degree. A fertile illustrator, like the poet and the painter, is born, not made. None the less, it is possible to cultivate the art; and the purpose of this book is to assist those who realise the necessity of being interesting, and are not destitute of imagination, to develop what gift they have. There are pitfalls in the way of the sermon and address illustrator, and the preacher and speaker will be put on their guard against them. The author has gone to the Bible as a store house of illustrations by inspired writers who possessed the art in perfection. Most of all he would send preachers to the Gospels, to Him who spake as never man spake, and without a parable spake He not unto them, for matchless examples of the illustra tion of spiritual truth. None realised as the Master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Illustration While we thus commend illustrations for necessary uses, it must be remembered that they are not the strength Of a sermon any more than a window is the strength of a house; and for this reason, among others, they should not be too numerous. Too many openings for light may seriously detract from the stability Of a building. We have known sermons so full of metaphors that they became weak, and we had almost said crazy, structures. Ser mons must not be nosegays of flowers, but sheaves Of wheat. Very beautiful sermons are generally very useless ones. TO aim at elegance is to court failure. It is possible to have too much of a good thing: a glass house is not the most comfortable of abodes, and be sides other Objectionable qualities it has the great fault of being sadly tempting to stone throwers. When a critical adversary attacks our metaphors he generally makes Short work of them. To friendly minds images are argu ments, but to opponents they are opportunities for attack; the enemy climbs up by the win dow. Comparisons are swords with two edges which cut both ways; and frequently what seems a sharp and telling illustration may be wittily turned against you, so as to cause a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Windows for Sermons: A Study of the Art of Sermonic Illustration, Together With Four Hundred Fresh Illustrations Suited for Sermons and Reform Addresses For years I have been receiving letters from all over the country, asking how and where I get my illustrations for my sermons. It is in response to this wide interest, evidenced by so many letters, that these chapters have been prepared. I have tried therein to answer the many questions that have been put to me concerning the sources of illus trations and the art of using them. I have also added several hundred fresh illustrations, gathered from, everywhere, but especially from the current life and discussion of the world. It is the hope of the author to be useful to his brethren, not only in furnishing helpful and suggestive illustrative mate rial, but also in the greater work of stimulating his readers to original search for such material in the ever-new volume of experience and observation which comes to them with each recurring day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Object Sermons in Outline: With Numerous Illustrations Much has been said and written about the use of the eye in impressing spiritual truth on an audience. But in spite of all the talk on this matter, outside of the Sunday-school little has been done, chiefly because many have not known how to get to work to enlist the eyes of their hearers. Pastors have acknowledged the power of object sermons, and have wished that they could prepare them, but have not felt that they dared launch out in this line of effort. I am persuaded that we all have much to learn in the direction of using things material to impress things spiritual on the minds of our hearers. In any secular lecture, we see scientific men making just as constant use of the eye as possible, and we recognize that this is one of the sources of the delight that is experienced in listening to what they have to say, and one great means by which we remember that to which we have listened. While the lecturer is appealing to the eye, and at the same time is explaining what he shows, to the ear, he has the undivided attention of all in his audience. It is simply impossible to be carried away by wandering thoughts, while eye and ear are both being appealed to by the speaker. Since these are facts that no one contraverts, why should we not avail ourselves of the same methods in our pulpit utterances, and, by the use of both of our most rapid senses, do all we can to impress the truth on our hearers? If our Master preached from the text of a little child held in His arms, or taught the duty of humility by actually waiting on the table, why should we be so finical that we cannot lay aside our dignity, and use any method that will impress the truth on others? I am by no means advocating such a use of objects as shall merely attract attention to themselves and thus overlay the truth, for to do that is folly. But there is a most legitimate way of using material objects, and to that I desire to call renewed attention. Having myself used this kind of preaching and having found it helpful in a spiritual way, 1 can all the more heartily commend it to others.

Download or read book Timeless Illustrations for Preaching and Teaching written by Donald Barnhouse and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If we look through a piece of red glass, everything is red; through blue glass everything is blue; through yellow glass, everything is yellow, and so on. "The glorious truth is that when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, God looks at us through the Lord Jesus Christ. He sees us in all the white holiness of His Son. That is the great New Testament doctrine of the imputation of our sin to the account of Christ and His righteousness to our account." Preachers and Bible teachers prize good illustrations. A great story is often the clearest and most memorable way for listeners to grasp the truth of God's Word. This timeless collection brings together hundreds of penetrating illustrations and pithy anecdotes from one of the twentieth century's evangelical master expositors, Donald Grey Barnhouse. With typical warmth and humor, Barnhouse illuminates all of Scripture's key topics: God, Christ, the tempter and temptation, sin, salvation, the Bible, the church, Christian life and growth, forgiveness, witnessing, thanksgiving, Christian families, and much more. This two-in-one collection was previously published as "Illustrating Great Themes of Scripture" and "Let Me Illustrate: 400 Stories, Anecdotes, and Illustrations."
