Honest Evangelism
by Rico Tice and Carl Laferton | Book Summary
Author: Rico Tice and Carl Laferton
|
Anyone who has ever tried to share their faith with another person understands there is a certain "painline" that must be crossed in personal evangelism. This painline often involves awkwardness and fear. It can involve hostility and antipathy. It might even involve hurt feelings and broken relationships. Christians can respond to these challenges in one of two ways. One, we can remain quiet about our faith and stop telling others about Jesus. Or two, we can count the cost and cross the painline of evangelism. While the cost of evangelism is very real, there is also a reward on the other side. That reward is joy, both for ourselves and for those with whom we share the gospel. Anyone who has struggled with evangelism and wants to grow as an evangelist will benefit from Honest Evangelism. |
