Description

Witnessing used to involve laying out the truth and guiding a person to understand and accept it. But the awareness of basic Christian principles has changed and so have the needs of pre-believers. With a passion for people, authors David and Norman Geisler share an engaging, conversational approach to evangelism as they address:What makes old models of witnessing ineffective in today's cultureWhy evangelism must start with relational pre-evangelismHow to ask questions, listen attentively, and understand what someone believesWays to identify the real barriers to belief in order to build a bridge to truthHow to keep dialogue going with different personality typesThis refreshing, practical resource is ideal for churches and individuals. Readers will discover how God uses their everyday encounters for great things when they switch from trying to witness effectively to effectively being a witness through communication and compassion.

    • Updated strategy for dealing with Postmodern obstacles to the Gospel
This is the perfect resource for Christian leaders to help their organizations face the daunting challenge of the postmodern rejection of truth. The book challenges believe verse two activate questions, illustrations and stories in a deliberate effort to do pre-evangelism in order to prepare the head and the heart of those who are antagonistic toward Christ. Even though many unbelievers don’t understand the underlying reason(s) why they themselves may be rejecting the truth, this thoughtful approach provides tools for the believer to navigate A path to bring them to the saving truth of Jesus Christ. The book shows the absolute necessity and practical application of Apologetics in post modern personal evangelism. ... show more

    • Apologetic Evangelism at Its Best
I believe that this is by far one of the best books on the market, when it comes to practical advice on how to be more effective in sharing the faith and defending God's Word. If you want a book that will explain the importance of why we need to share the Christian faith and walk you through just how to get that done, this is your book. It covers such important areas as listening skills, the importance of using questions, helping the unbeliever overcome why they do not believe, clarifying and qualifying what the listener actually believes, and so much more. I would be remiss and am being somewhat shameful in mentioning my book of the same title, but a different subtitle. I believe the two of these books compliment each other. Both of these tools are indispensable in preevangelism. If you can only afford one, start with Dr. Geislers and try mind later. God bless and take care. Edward D. Andrews, CEO and President, Christian Publishing House Conversational Evangelism: Defending the Faith, Reasoning from the Scriptures, Explaining and Proving, Instructing in Sound Doctrine, and Overturning False Reasoning ... show more

    • Bringing people a step closer to the Gospel message
Keenly aware of the challenges of being a Christian witness in our postmodern era with very helpful illustrations and suggestions for opening doors for meaningful conversations that can over time gain a hearing for the Christian worldview. Appendix is useful with resource listings in print, websites, and organizations to enlarge one's learning curve. ... show more

    • Review of Conversational Evangelism
I saw/heard Dr. Geisler at our church in February 2016, where he gave a presentation on the theory behind this book. I was impressed, so bought it. It's very good, especially if one hasn't tried to witness to people much before. Back 40 years ago,it was the thing to do to just present the facts about the Gospel and ask people if they wanted to pray to receive Christ. Well, we live in a different culture now, and we have to be more subtle. We have to genuinely befriend people and gain their trust before they will want to hear about our faith. Dr. Geisler offers suggestions of how to ask questions to get people to see for themselves the truth of the Gospel rather than confronting them directly. My problem is that I'm not as clever at asking questions as he is! I'll just keep on being friends with my unbelieving friends and depending on the Holy Spirit to lead any conversations we have. I do recommend the book. ... show more

    • Excellent Resource
One of the best books on pre-evangelism and method that I have encountered. Don’t miss out on this dynamic and interesting way to think about talking to others about Jesus. Highly recommended. It is a central book in the evangelism class that I teach. Not to be missed.

    • MUST read
If you want to learn evangelism in a way that is NON-confrontational, which is really the Way of the Master, then you MUST read this. David takes all the theology and apologetics of his father and has crafted more of a Socratic method that helps the person realize the truth for themselves. In today's era of relativism and postmodernism, CE will add MUCH to the discussion of how to reach the lost for the King's glory. ... show more

    • Easy on the "E" word
Many times the thought of Evangelism is daunting. Breaking that process down into an introductory process makes "pre-evangelism" an easier process to start. Great book of information, real-world examples, and sample Q&A makes this a wonderful book for building courage.

    • A fantastic tool for everyday evangelism.
This is a great book for those of us who want to share our faith with friends and family in a loving and intriguing way.
