Keen to be an evangelist?
What’s it about:
Talks about the why and how of talking about Jesus.
Why? Because Jesus is glorious; the New Creation is guaranteed; and Hell is grim
How? Remember Jesus’ identity; His mission; His call
Great takeaways:
A very helpful insight to be found in this book is that the reason we don't talk about Jesus much with others is not because we don't love people enough. It's that we love ourselves too much. Much of what we fear in evangelism stems from our self-love. We simply love ourselves too much to put ourselves at risk of rejection, ridicule, or persecution. Unless we tackle this idol of self-love, our evangelistic efforts will always be hampered.
