Improve your preaching with pretty pictures

Attention grabbing title, I know. But I'm serious, this will improve your preaching. I'm always after simple images to communicate complex information while preaching. But good pictures communicating just what I want are hard to find.

Enter into the picture, Mark Barry.

Mark works for AFES and he's a top bloke to boot! I got to know him a bit over the past two years of my ministry apprenticeship. His blog has been a bit slow of late, but thankfully he's started a new blog where he posts great 'Biblical infographics', I guess you'd call them. Historically a lot of them are designed for National Training Event strand material or for SALT magazine, but mostly they're just cool.

Always wanted a more detailed but schmick version of Goldsworthy's Biblical Timeline?

What about a simple image of the twelve tribes of Israel?

This one was three weeks too late for me, but as Mark has also recently been working on Micah, I suggested I would love a version of his map of Israel specific to Micah, which showed the places mentioned in the book (I even dared suggest over time he could develop one for each book of the Old Testament as a need I have identified). Anyways, I would suggest putting this one in your Micah folder for the next time you preach it or perhaps lead Bible Study on it.

What else do you need? Paul's journey to Rome?

Kings of Israel and Judah?

Go and check them all out. There's more to come according to Mark, and he's a humble guy, so if you see ways of improvement pop him a comment and I'm sure he'll consider it.
