Editorial Reviews

Review

For anyone charged with the task of finding the quote for the bulletin, church sign, or short illustration, this book will be a treasure chest. (Brad Stetson Southern California Christian Times )

There is real impact in short bursts of truth couched in novel phrases. (Curt Rowe, Pastor )

From the Publisher

"Recommend this title to pastors and church leaders...these five second 'sentence sermons' encapsulate recognized truths, carrying a spiritual punch long after the message has been read."

-Christian Book Association(CBA) Marketplace "I can testify this book works! We have averaged one to two new families in worship per month who were drawn to us through the ministry of the church sign."

- Dr. Steve Nicholas, Pastor "710 Sentence Sermons serves a vital function in providing eye catchers and reminders... I commend this volume."

-Steven F. Olford founder, The Stephen Olford Center for Biblical Preaching This book provides people with truth injections which can be used by an individual, be shared with others in a variety of ways, and be used on church signs. Readers can start their own "sound bite ministry" with this outstanding volume.

This review is from: 701 Sentence Sermons : Attention-Getting Quotes for Church Signs, Bulletins, Newsletters, and Sermons (Paperback)

When our church added a new front sign on which to list church events and/or quaint sayings, I purchased a couple of books with such sayings. 701 Sentence Sermons was one of the books I purchased. The sentence sermons are fine as far as content goes, but they are just a little too long for us. So, if you have limited space on your sign, or a limited number of letters to use, this may not be the book for you. Our church has found the book "Forbidden Fruit Creates Many Jams" to be a much more useful book. Even still, 701 Sentence Sermons does offer a nice collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Definite Must-Have Church Sign Book, May 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 701 Sentence Sermons : Attention-Getting Quotes for Church Signs, Bulletins, Newsletters, and Sermons (Paperback)

The author provides his readers with new, fresh, concise church sign messages not found in most other sign books or sources. A very useful book. Many messages quote actual scriptures. Wish it had more than 701 messages, but understand Volume 2 is in the works! A welcome addition to any sign changer's library!

Good ideas for signs in front of churches. Some ideas better than others. Worth the price of purchase, although I'm not certain I would buy the many other versions of the "sentence sermon" books.

Somewhat simplistic and "pat" at times, although they are attention-getters.
