[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book took me several days to complete…but it was worth it!

[Craig · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a reference book, so I didn't actually read it from cover to cover. But what you have here is Swindoll's illustration file, topically arranged. It's a valuable resource for any public speaker.

I love the parables in this book. I refer to it often if I need material for a speech/story I need to share/talk about.
It was and is well worth the money, and something that can be used over and over again!

[Rick Bavera · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is not a "read it from cover-to-cover" book, but one to pick up and dive in anywhere, read a good story or two, find something about a subject that is on your mind.

Lots of encouraging stories and quotes on a lot of different subjects.

[Bonnie Dieffenbacher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I previously read bits and pieces of this and have used some excerpts for sermons, but I decided to read it cover to cover. Charles Swindoll takes a collection of stories, quotes and personal experiences and divides them by topics. I loved it.

[Joe Cochran · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was good, and at times entertaining. I read this mostly for the quotes, and inspirational stories. I'm not much of a poetry reader so those portions for me were dry often times repetitive. I was able to bookmark notable portions within the book that impacted me more than others - so that was a positive result. I'm glad I read this, and would recommend this to people who are looking for an uplifting read.

Okay, I haven't read everything, but it is a great resource. I have used it a lot over the years.
