Reviews
"John G. Butler, longtime pastor
and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his
affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical
text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for
the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly
recommend his writings."
Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey,
Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical
Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
"John
Butler has produced a powerful and practical series on the
lives of biblical characters. These expository books are
thoroughly organized and outlined, and will help preachers
and Bible teachers in preparing sermons or lessons. You
will be blessed by the author's alliterative style, which
stamps every message with a subtle, poetic flair."
Dr. Stephen F. Olford, The
Stephen Olford Center for Biblical Preaching, Memphis, TN
Description
What Makes the Butler Biography Series
Different From Other Study Tools?
John Butler.
He's a gifted pastor and Bible scholar who has been quietly
writing this series for 13 years. As soon as we released this
series, it became one of our best-sellers. Here's why: these
books are biographies
that follow the real-life stories of significant characters in
the Bible. Yet each biography is a detailed verse-by-verse
commentary carefully
exposing what each verse of Scripture says to us about each
Bible character.
Successfully combining a biography
with a verse-by-verse commentary is a task hard enough to
discourage most writers. But not Butler. He does it
masterfully. And what he does next is nothing short of
anointed. He alliterates
everything! Alliteration (the repetition of initial sounds in
adjacent words) is the kind of preaching that targets the
human heart and sticks in the mind for good. We've never seen
outlines so crisp and clear.
Verse-By-Verse. It's the Way To Go For
Expository Preaching.
The closer we examine the Bible text, the
more understanding we'll receive. Butler helps us do this with
skill and clarity. And it all stays neatly enclosed in
Butler's bulletproof outlines. Butler's writing is courageous:
he pulls no punches and is not afraid to call sin what it is.
If you're looking for liberal theology you're probably not
going to like Butler. If you appreciate solid, conservative,
Bible-based teaching, you are going to love it!
Those Fantastic Alliterations! Thousands
of Them.
Butler's
alliterations read like poetry. Here's an example of Butler's
crisp talent for alliteration. Remember the tragically
triumphant story of Samson? See if you can follow your own
knowledge of this tale of wasted potential in the 11, single
word chapter titles: Retrogression; Revelation; Romance;
Rebel; Riddle; Retaliation; Ropes; Revived; Roving; Razor;
Revenge. Now, look at how Butler outlines just one of those
chapters. Let's takeRazor:
- A. The Circumstances For the Razor
- B. The Concealing of the Razor
- C. The Coming of the Razor
- D. The Cost of the Razor
Did you see a possible 4-point sermon
there? And wait until you see what he does with each subpoint!
27-Volumes Detailing the Lives of the
Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
We know the Bible does not try to
whitewash its heroes. God has carefully recorded for us
important lessons, taught through the lives of people, often
people just like us. We can learn from both the faithful and
the wicked.
