5.0 out of 5 stars A book for the evangelistically UN-gifted, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Evangelism for the Tongue-tied (Paperback)

Evangelism is NOT my spiritual gift. I don't run about scattering tracts on the streets or presenting the gospel to cashiers in the grocery store. I don't have a glove compartment chock full of "just-in-case" evangelistic supplies. So I've often felt regret when I've walked away from an open door instead of seizing the opportunity, and I've just felt guilty in general over my lack of witness. Evangelism for the Tongue-tied is a book for people like me. In other words, it's for the average believer. In this short, easy-to-read book, Chap Bettis uses Scripture and Spirit-guided wisdom to describe how the evangelistically un-gifted can carry out the Great Commission on a daily basis through prayer and forming real relationships with the people we come into contact with already. No gimmicks, no twenty-step method, no endless classes, and no hours of memorization. Just real believers making real relationships with real people and receiving real help from God. If you feel tongue-tied in the presence of unbelievers, this book is for you!
