What if "evangelism" meant just being yourself? If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is "witnessing" often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn't it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson? What if... *you didn't have to make a speech in order to "witness"? *you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus? *the things you're already doing counted as evangelism? Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus. This isn't another program or pitch. It's a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost. Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

What the author recommends (treating "the missing" as people we should love and not as projects) seemed obvious to me, but clearly he's writing for a particular segment of people where this may not be so obvious.
What was a glaring omission in the book was any discussion of the Great Commission and how it fits into (or doesn't fit into) his whole approach. While there is a great deal of merit in the author's kid gloves approach, I can't help but think he's not doing all the work Christ has given us. Isn't there a reasonable middle ground between heavy handed and kid gloves when it comes to sharing our faith with others? ( )
