Swindoll's Ultimate Book of Illustrations & Quotes

the long version

Interesting illustrations grab the attention and clear the minds of those listening, open the windows, bringing light to truth. It seemed only reasonable to pause from preaching long enough to unload my files and put into print the illustrations I have collected over these three-and-a-half decades. Since they have been of such help to me personally, perhaps others can benefit from them as well. - Introduction.
