Beau Crosetto — fellow InterVarsity staffworker, fellow church planter, and blogger at Release the APE — and I wrote a free eBook on evangelism for the Exponential network. It was Beau’s initial idea, and he persuaded me to join the project. And over the past couple of months, we worked on this together for many, many hours. A couple of times, we completely overhauled the book’s structure so that it would be something useful and helpful in your hands.
We really believe, as we write, that “evangelism is the discipleship of skeptics and seekers,” and that if we’re serious about discipleship, we also need to be serious about being humble, faithful and winsome witnesses of the hope that we have. Here’s the blurb from the exponential website:
In this new FREE eBook, the authors help leaders understand two things: 1) Why every believer needs to be doing evangelism and leading people to faith: and 2) How you can create a culture of witness in your church or faith community. For too long we were pressuring people, and now we have become passive in evangelism. Crosetto and Choung say the time is now to seek a third and better way!
Let us know if the resource is helpful! And you find 14 other free eBooks from Exponential as well!
James, thanks very much for making this resource freely available. Recently I’ve had discussions with a very smart and sceptical colleague, who want to believe. I have only begun reading the Bible three years ago and lack the know-how. Most of all, I am not dependant enough on prayer and the Holy Spirit.
Many thanks for the learning you make available through the e-Book. God bless you and your ministry!
Thanks for the encouragement!
