I love to share favorite quotations. They enable me to say what I want to say—better than I could say it myself. There’s something about a well-turned phrase from a well-respected author that speaks deeply to people’s hearts.
Many preachers have had the experience of trying to remember a quote that could make our message stick in the minds of our listeners. So we rack our brains, wondering where it was that Augustine talked about people’s hearts being restless, or Charles Spurgeon made that comment about the Gospel being like a lion, able to take care of itself if it is let out of its cage. Or was it the Bible being like a tiger?
That’s why I’m so excited about 300 Quotations for Preachers with Slides. It includes quotations from hundreds of years of church history from such leading writers and preachers as John Calvin, G. K. Chesterton, John Chrysostom, and Thomas à Kempis. Unlike many other books of quotations, however, this one has several stand-out features:
- It provides material for sermon prep. Find quotations by searching for author, theme, or Scripture reference. Whether you’re looking for a Bible passage or a quote that relates to a theme, this resource enables you to find exactly what you need—fast.
- It makes sharing easy. All quotations come with a professionally designed slide featuring an excerpt, making it easier to share with others.
- It updates language. For some quotations, archaic language (like “thee” and “thou”) has been updated, making the quotations ready to use in a modern context.
- It takes you to the source. Each quotation includes a bibliographic citation, enabling you to track it down in its original context.
This resource puts you in touch with wisdom from the past—and helps you do the same for others. Reserve your copy at this discounted Pre-Pub price!
