Here are fourteen colorful messages by a man who really has a concern for people in his heart, and he pictures these people in his sermons. Dr. Angell draws illustrations from his own experience and the lives of his friends to make clearer than ever the powerful message of the Bible.
Every illustration fits, letting the reader see himself mirrored in the experiences of others and pointing him to the great spiritual truths of the Christian faith. Constantly emphasized are these: the love of God for sinners, personal responsibility, and the ways to live an abundant Christian life.
These messages may be well described by paraphrasing the verse in Proverbs on which the book title is based: "An illustration fitly told is like apples of gold in baskets of silver."
