Produktbeschreibung
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 arc 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 storehouse 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 illustration of spiritual truth. None realised as the Master realised how "Truth embodied in a tale Shall enter in at lowly doors." It has been a protracted but pleasant labour to search for illustrations in the sermons of preachers of the past and present, and the harvest has richly repaid the labour.
