Illustrator is a computer-based library of
materials that "illustrate" biblical principles and religious
concepts. Over 2,500 quotes, anecdotes, stories, and news items are included in
Bible Illustrator. These thought-provoking bits of information, displayed in a
note card style (see below), are appropriate illustrations for sermons,
lectures, reports, etc. The items were originally collected by Sermons
Illustrated, a subscription service that supplies the illustrations on
index cards. Each illustration is indexed by topic, using the Thompson
Chain-Reference Bible numbering system.

illustration powerful search features make it easy to locate suitable
illustrations by topic, and you can easily edit the existing cards or add your
own items with the program's built-in word processor. To enhance your use of
the program, you can run the program in conjunction with QuickVerse,

Illustrations link in the navigation menu above. If you are not sure what
to do next, there is a "readme" file included with the download. This
file contains instructions. (Note: While these illustrations are designed to

To submit
illustrations,
click the Submit Illustrations link in the navigation menu above. This
is an e-mail link, so you will need to send the illustration as an attachment
to your e-mail message, or as part of the e-mail itself. If you already are
a BI user, please use the recommended topics already included in the program,
and use the File/Export option to export tagged card(s) to a supplement file.
It is this supplement file (*.sup) that you will need to attach to your e-mail.
The purpose of this (attaching to e-mail instead of uploading directly) is not
to censor the sermon illustration, but to ensure proper format. If you are
not a BI user, you can still submit illustrations. Either attach to e-mail
(any format is fine) or include in the text of the e-mail message. Thank
you for your participation!
