Each volume of this encyclopedia contains more than 1,500 anecdotes, neatly arranged by topic, allowing for quick access to the precise illustration of the truth the preacher wishes to clarify.

Anecdotes are real-life stories: condensed fragments of experience that border on the extraordinary or the timeless, depicting an unrepeatable situation, containing a moral, philosophical, or scientific lesson, and passed down to posterity as an example for future generations.
