Object Lessons: 100 Lessons from Everyday Life

by Charles C. Ryrie

What good is a broken fingernail? What can you do with a frying pan, a hammer, and an egg? How is a balloon different from a brick? The world around us is full of items useful for interesting and meaningful object lessons. Dr. Ryrie uses pencils, light bulbs, sunglasses, and even the air around us to illustrate truths about salvation and the Christian life. All 100 objects are simple and easy to find, and the lessons can be used for any group of any age. Children and adults alike will enjoy learning more when you present these fascinating illustrations.

Great little book of object lessons mainly for children. The book is divided up into 2 sections. The first is for evangelism of the lost and the second is for teaching Christians.
