Publisher Description
Discover a Natural Way to Share the Love of Christ.
Think about an incredibly joyful event in your life. Perhaps you got a job you desperately wanted or you were really proud of something you made. Do you remember how you couldn’t wait to talk about it? You were willing and eager to have a conversation about it with anyone who would listen! Why doesn’t our excitement for Jesus overflow from our lives in a similar and natural way?
In this book, Thom Rainer explores what makes so many Christians hesitant to talk about the greatest news the world has ever heard. There are real obstacles, challenges, and fears, but God is bigger and stronger than these hurdles. His compassion extends to all who wander, and He wants to show them His love through the lives of His people.
With this helpful guide, you will
• Discover why it is so difficult to share the greatest news in the world
• Identify common objections that are difficult to answer and learn how to respond to them gracefully
• Learn about the three biggest barriers to talking to your friends and neighbors about the gospel and how to bypass those obstacles
• See how God loves to work through our lives to draw others to Himself
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rainer (The Post-Quarantine Church), the CEO of an online consultation service for church leaders, urges Christians to win converts to the faith in this practical guide. Lamenting the stagnation of many churches, Rainer suggests that "it's time to get rid of our excuses and make evangelism one of the highest priorities in our lives," encouraging readers to engage in active discussions about their faith and spread "the Good News." Rainer tells of how his high school football coach's candid discussions with players about Jesus led Rainer to more actively practice his Christian faith and demonstrated the positive effects of evangelism. Busyness, apathy, and lack of discipline constitute the "three big barriers to sharing the gospel," according to Rainer, and he recounts how he overcame them and persuaded a man to become a practicing Christian through conversation, care, and generosity. Rainer's occasional use of fire and brimstone language won't be for everybody ("Evangelism is indeed spiritual warfare"), but those looking for tips on talking with others about Jesus will find some useful advice on what to say, such as how one might respond to "pesky objections." Evangelism-minded Christians will appreciate the useful guidance.
