Dr. David Sylvester, Editor

Have you ever noticed that most people in your church remember your message by first recalling that great story you told?

Jesus was well aware that people respond to stories and illustrations. He was the master teacher. A little verse tucked away in Matthew 13:34 reveals his style, "And he did not speak to them without a parable." If Jesus told stories to teach, so should we.

Great Stories is an alphabetical compilation in print or CD-ROM of the best stories from the best preachers around and also usable human interest stories from today's headlines. Easy to access, we compile great stories from

Bob Russell, Jack Graham, Chuck Swindoll, Jay Strack, Greg Laurie, Max Lucado, John Maxwell, Jerry Vines, and David Jeremiah, etc. just to name a few! These Stories are as fresh as USA TODAY and ready to use!

Pulpit Notes are one or two-page expository and topical notes I have compiled to be used as resources and study helps for your preaching. They include an introduction, explanation of the message, outline and commentary, and appropriate application.  These message notes have saved thousands of hours in research for the more 15,000 pastors who have used them.

Please note that those ordering THE COMPLETE PACKAGE will receive a "Willow Creek Worship CD" AND a "Swan's Club" Christian comedy audio tape by Dr. Dennis Swanberg.  "Swan's Club" is a free gift with all orders!
