Evangelism


Book Description

For most Christians, the thought of being involved in evangelism is intimidating. They feel apprehensive, perhaps, because they feel unprepared. On the other hand, when Christians are prepared, they feel confident that they can personally share the good news with others. Evangelism: A Biblical Approach will thoroughly prepare you because it covers every passage on evangelism and all the topics pertaining to evangelism in the New Testament. It begins by delving into the biblical foundations of evangelism--starting from the basic questions of "What is Evangelism?" and "Why Evangelize?" It covers such topics as "Praying People into Heaven," "On Being Wise, Like a Snake," and "What Made Paul So Bold?" It concludes by discussing the practical how-tos, including approaching different people on their level. It enables you to make evangelism personal. This revised edition has an additional chapter on Lordship Salvation. Evangelism: A Biblical Approach will equip you and give you the confidence to explain the gospel.

Why I Love the Apostle Paul


Book Description

"Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.
