This review is from: Movie-Based Illustrations for Preaching and Teaching - Volume 1 (Paperback)
Sit next to a TV in the room and teach from the most powerful media device that we have. The secular is taken and made useful for spiritual things. The movies are familiar, and they give you a great platform to teach from. Get these, they'll help in the growing media-based generations.

This review is from: Movie-Based Illustrations for Preaching and Teaching - Volume 1 (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book I just thank God that I didn't have to pay much for it. I have ordered many books from Amazon.com but this has been the worst I have purchased thus far. Maybe it will be helpful in the future but this is one book that will get thrown in the back of the closet for now!
