DR. TONY EVANS is the founder and senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, founder and president of The Urban Alternative, chaplain of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, and author of over 100 books, booklets and Bible studies. The first African American to earn a doctorate of theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, he has been named one of the 12 Most Effective Preachers in the English-Speaking World by Baylor University.

Dr. Evans holds the honor of writing and publishing the first full-Bible commentary and study Bible by an African American.

His radio broadcast, The Alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, can be heard on more than 1,400 US outlets daily and in more than 130 countries.

Dr. Evans launched the Tony Evans Training Center in 2017, an online learning platform providing quality seminary-style courses for a fraction of the cost to any person in any place. The goal is to increase Bible literacy not only in lay people but also in those Christian leaders who cannot afford nor find the time for formal ongoing education.

Dr. Tony Evans was married to Lois, his wife and ministry partner of over 50 years until Lois transitioned to glory in late 2019. They are the proud parents of four, grandparents of thirteen and great-grandparents of three.

Fabulous book of illustrations to use in speaking, teaching, sermons

Dr. Tony Evans always hits it out of the park with his sermon illustrations! This book arrived quickly in perfect condition exactly as described.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2022

I wouldn’t call it necessarily a book of strictly illustrations. It is more like a book with some good illustrations and some great analogies. I have used some of these ideas in the pulpit to nice effect. Pastor Tony does a really good job illustrating difficult concepts through short commonplace ideas.

Most of the illustrations and analogies are pretty short.

Book really isn’t for straight-through reading. It is more like a tool for pastors or a devotional or coffee table short snippets reader.

It has been useful to me. Beware though, Pastor Tony is a master voice story teller in his own messages. Very often the reason his illustrations are so great is because he is all in and enthusiastic. So you have to commit to any story or analogy in your own way and pray and listen for the Spirit when deciding what to use.

A Great Resource to Have!

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

Sometimes illustrating a certain passage or verse in a memorable way is tough, especially when it's Saturday evening and you have to preach the next morning. This book has helped me numerous times to get over the hump and put the finishing touches on quite a few sermons. The illustrations are concise and memorable, so even if you don't use the "exact" illustration as it appears in the book, they can get you thinking in the right direction so that you can come up with your own, or put your own twist on what Mr. Evans wrote. This book isn't meant as a commentary or exegetical tool, but offers short, concise quips that will help your audience internalize the truths of Scripture.

It was a good night rice and in excellent condition. It will be used in preparing sermons.

I enjoyed the book very much. Many of the illustrations were new to me and easily applicable to my own use. There were also a number of dated and familiar stories and illustrations as well, but overall, I thought the book was very good and helpful.

Thank you, Dr. Evans!!

I can’t read or hear one of Dr. Evans’ sermons and not have an “ah-ha” moment or head slap. I grew up in church and have studied the Bible my whole life and just recently found and fell in love with Dr. Evans’ and his style of teaching. His analogies and stories truly help me understand the Bible so much better and gives me tools to use to share God’s word with others in a modern and understandable way. Thank you, Dr. Evans, you have helped change my life, my relationship with my Lord, and share the Good News of God’s Word with others! May God continue to Bless you and your ministry! ❤️
