What Makes the Butler Biography Series Different From Other Study Tools?
John Butler is a gifted pastor and Bible scholar who has been quietly writing this series for 13 years. As soon as we released this series
as WORDsearch software 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 take Razor:
- 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.
