Anyone who speaks for a living knows that at some point you just run out of relevant stories to tell. And there's nothing more embarrassing to a preacher or teacher than a listener pointing out to them that they've heard that story three or four times now. What's a busy speaker to do? Ed Rowell and Leadership journal have come to the rescue with Contemporary Ideas for Preaching and Teaching, a fresh compilation of quotes, idea starters, illustrations, and humor to jump-start or add kick to speeches, sermons, and lessons. This easy-to-use volume is the perfect addition to the library of any pastor, teacher, or public speaker.
