I have an opportunity by the Lord to preach and teach at church on a regular basis. This book has been helpful to add some humor to the messages and it is clean.

The book is set-up by topics easy to turn to in alphabetical order. There is even a place to record down the date and place it was used to assure it is not spoken to the same congregation over and over.

There are other additions available if you need more than this one book!

This book does in fact have a number of good stories that you can use for presentations, social events, gatherings and the like. It is heavily geared and would best serve the religious setting (for a sermon) but there are plenty of other stories and anecdotes that you could use for a non-religious setting.

The concept here is that you grab the book, look for a relevant topic and you have almost a thousand stories that you can pick from. This can be useful when you are preparing a presentation and most of these are funny enough for you to be able to use to "break the ice" in a setting like this.

If you need content and you do a lot of speeches and presentations paying less than $10 for the Kindle version is a pretty good deal.

I like this book and will definitely read it a couple more times. Not all of the stories/jokes/illustrations are new to me, but most were. Some were derivations of other common stories that have been around for many years. I liked the organization of the book and that makes it worth the money.

I found many of the little stories and andedotes great and have used a number of them already. This is a very helpful book. Some of the stories are a little out-dated or would have ranked it higher.

Over all this book was worth the money. Wont realy know until I have to prepare the next speach.

I didn't get anything out of this book. Buy it if you have money to waste.

The book was very helpful to me. It's a great book filled with useful stories and jokes.
