This is a re-write of a couple of Ray's earlier books, and includes some fresh material. "How to Win Souls and Influence People" is a book that not only will stir you to get out and do something for the Kingdom of God:

"Soldier, what are you doing for the Kingdom of God? Are you waiting for a 'word from God'? Then here it is -- 'Go' (Mark 16:15). What are you waiting for? Go somewhere, do something, say something to somebody somewhere, somehow. One day you will be dead, and then it will be too late. While you can think, speak, move your hands and feet, do something for God." (pg. 53-54)

It will also teach you how to approach people, open a conversation, use tracts or other resources (like a blank piece of paper, pg. 193) to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

With this book, and his "Hell's Best Kept Secret" (also available through Amazon), you will have not only a fire put in you to get out and share your faith, but you will be equipped with the method and tools to do so effectively.

If you know that you should witness, but are scared to death to do so, or just don't know how, then get this book, read it, and put it's principles into practice...and you'll never be the same!

Excellent book! A must read for any Christian seeking the will of God for their lives. It will equip and motivate you to do the work God has called you to do. You can't go wrong with any of Ray's tracts, tapes, or books!

Ray Comfort is known in the Church for being a man who has a passion to share his faith and also teach other Christians how to do the same. His books and his television program, The Way of the Master, focus on using the Ten Commandments (the Law of God) to show people their sinfulness before a perfect and holy God (Romans 7:7,14; Galatians 3:10-27; 1 Timothy 1:8-10). The Law shuts our mouths before a holy God (Romans 3:19-20) and reveals to us that we are lost without Christ (Romans 4:24-5:11; 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; Ephesians 1:7). This book, along with many of other books by Ray Comfort, focuses us on the Law and how to use it to show a person their need to repent (Luke 13:5; Acts 2:37-38).

I did enjoy this book and the only reason that I gave it a three star is simply because the book is a repeat of much of what I have already read by Ray Comfort in his other books such as HELL'S BEST KEPT SECRET or THE MASTER'S WAY OF EVANGELISM. This book simply takes bits and pieces of Comfort's teachings on the usage of the Law of God for evangelism. While I did enjoy the book, I felt the title was not a true representation. Yes it does teach you how to win souls and influence people but it is a mixture of several of Comfort's books all in one.

Overall, I do recommend this book. If you have never read Ray Comfort's works, you will be cut to the heart as you see first the need to share your faith (or repent if you are not truly saved) and then you will be encouraged to see that God has given us a key to transform men's hearts (Psalm 19:7; Luke 11:52). I would encourage you to read this book with your Bible open and allow the Holy Spirit to take the Scriptures into your heart and mind so that when you do share your faith, the Law will come to your mind that you might cut men to the heart about their sins.

This is a very readable, understandable guide to what it takes to be a soul winner. I would recommend it to everyone.

A little disappointed with this book i thought that it would be more of a guide- or help with lots of back up bible verses but it is more of a biography- i'm only 1/2 thru it- usually i can read anything but this one has been kinda hard to stick with- i would have rather just checked it out from the library then own it.
