First published in 1998 by Bible Communications, Inc. in Dallas, Texas, the Encyclopedia of 15,000 Illustrations is exactly what its name promises—a massive treasury of stories, anecdotes, facts, and quotations for pastors, teachers, and Christian workers. Physically, it’s an impressive volume: a 3,700-page hardcover containing roughly 15,000 entries, organized alphabetically and fully indexed for quick reference. It serves as a tool to help preachers and speakers bring their messages to life, often compiled from sources like missionary reports, historical events, and everyday observations.
