Many evangelism styles are so challenging to the average Christian that they are like asking a baby to run a marathon before they learn to crawl. Share Jesus Without Fear is very practical and the principles presented can be practiced by both the experienced soul winner and the person who is scared to death.

My mom actually, by "coinsidence" (God is so in control!), asked me to look this book over, and it's changed my life. So many Christians lack witnessing in their faith - and that "many" included me until I read this book. Now that I look back, I realize I'd been longing for something lacking from my faith, and witnessing was what I was lacking. Now, this book has shown me how and why - and there is no going back. I carry a witnessing Bible everywhere I go, and I would have it no other way. Buy this book, it will change you life!

Dr. Fay has witnessed to more than 25,000 people, so he is well able to address the common responses and reactions of people. He gives real-life scenarios that will open your mind to new possibilities with regard to sharing your faith. But the best part is how simple sharing the gospel becomes when you understand his approach. I have been a Christian 20 years, but this is the first time I've begun to feel confident to share my faith with anyone.

This book provides an amazingly simple, yet very effective method for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. If you find it hard to know where to start or how to keep a conversation focused on the message of Christ, this book will give you confidence and tools to do so. At the core of this book is a non-argumentative way to engage in conversation about Jesus that could lead up to the person you are talking with realizing the gospel through reading scripture for themselves. The book also contains the amazing testimony of the author, William Fay, and provides answers to many questions people will raise when facing the pivotal decision of whether to accept Jesus. Even though the book outlines a "formula", it emphasizes following the Holy Spirit with examples of some of the author's experiances with being lead by the Spirit with amazing results. I was given this book and have since used what I've read to share the gospel with friends and co-workers. I am now buying several copies to hand out to my Christian friends who desire to share the hope they have in their lives due to Jesus, but aren't sure how to go about doing so.

This is a great book! My son, James (18 ) read Share Jesus Without Fear over his Thanksgiving break from college...he liked it and bought 6 more copies for his friends. He witnessed to an old girlfriend over the net this week using these techniques - Praise God!

I can't believe how I have been affected by Share Jesus Without Fear. I am a new Christian and I have spent these years in Bible study classes (gathering knowledge) but not knowing what to do with it. I don't know scripture well enough to witness on my own and now that I have read this book, I know God is speaking to me and nudging me. I am now starting on my second reading of the book. I now know how to BE BOLD and to share my faith. I carry it with me in my purse!

I know Bill Fay personally, and I have been with him many times when he was evangelizing. I have personally watched him leading dozens of people to Christ.

The material in his book is not oversimplified or rationalized; Bill personally uses the methods he teaches. Everything in his book has been tested and refined in the crucible of experience. I have seen him successfully use the things he teaches over and over again in real-world evangelism.

What readers of the book need to understand is that Bill treats each person he talks to as if he or she is the most important person he has ever met. There is nothing rotely formulaic in his approach - people respond to him because they see that he cares, and that he truly means and believes everything he says. Bill combines his straightforward methodology with a very personal approach. He genuinely cares about the people he evangelizes, and that shines through everything he says and does.

When he asks people if they were wrong, would they want to know it, and they reply, No, he really does walk away. Yes, most of them call him back, but when they don't, he keeps walking. It's not a gimmick. Bill means exactly what he says. If Bill has a "secret," that's it - he genuinely cares about people, and absolutely believes and means what he says.

I've always wanted to share Jesus, but found it difficult. I was afraid of becoming tongue tied, forgetting scriptures, and flat out being rejected. William Fay's book, Share Jesus Without Fear has made it easy to share Jesus with others and offer them the chance to receive the gift of Salvation. Many Christians do not share their faith because they simply do not know how to begin a conversation. Fay gives helpful conversational starters and simple advice for the beginner. The jist of his book consists of 7 Bible scriptures to help you share your faith, simple questions to ask, and a prayer of salvation. Fay's plan for sharing Jesus is easy to follow. If your silence has been bugging you, this book is a must read. Begin to share Jesus without fear and you will be blessed.

I first used the Share Jesus method in 1994. The method is simple to use, non-confrontational, and relies upon the Holy Spirit and not you to open a non-believers eyes. Last year my church invited Bill in to preach on the "Sin of Silence" and to conduct his seminar. Our auditorium was filled to overcapacity. During the week following Bill's seminar over 100 shared their faith with someone for the first time. Many came to faith. If you are reading this and have a passion for someone that does not know Christ, buy the book.

Overall, I thought this was a really good book. I have found that there is no quick formula to evangelism as each person is unique and different and has different hesitations about accepting the Lord. This book does offers some helpful conversational models and good things to say to encourage people to accept Christ. A few of the replies he offers do seem a bit harsh though. Other than that, a great evangelism tool!
