The Gospel of Robinson Crusoe and Uncle Tom's Cabin

I remember Sir Robert Anderson saying that he could not understand any man standing up with the Bible in his hand and failing to be interesting. He told how a friend, a general in the army, had said, Give me any page you chance to open of one of our military handbooks, and I ll undertake to speak upon it in a way that will interest soldiers. When F. W. Boreham writes about Robinson Crusoe and Uncle Tom s Cabin he succeeds in making the Bible interesting. Using fictional stories to illustrate biblical truth is a lost art. I marvel at how well Boreham does it. Has anyone done it better? Michael Dalton
