This book is small because, like the gospel it describes, its message is so simple. Gifted evangelist Greg Laurie, author of The New Believer's Bible, has developed this short, easy-to-understand booklet on how to tell others about the good news of Jesus Christ. Also an excellent resource for new believers.

More About the Author

Who Is Greg Laurie?

Greg Laurie is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California. He began his pastoral ministry at the age of 19 by leading a Bible study of 30 people.

Since then, God has transformed that small group into a church of some 15,000 people. Today, Harvest is one of the largest churches in America, and consistently ranks among the most influential churches in the country.

In 1990, Laurie began holding large-scale public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades. Since that time, more than 4,219,000 people have attended Harvest Crusades events around the United States, and in Australia and New Zealand. More importantly, more than 350,300 people have registered professions of faith through these outreaches.

Laurie is the featured speaker of the nationally-syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, which is broadcast on more than 500 radio outlets around the world. A New Beginning is also one of the most popular Christian podcast downloads on Apple's iTunes Store.

Laurie was also a guest on CNN's Larry King Live in August of 2005, and he has appeared on many other television news programs. Along with his work at Harvest Ministries, Laurie serves on the board of directors of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, among others. He holds honorary doctorates from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University.

In addition to speaking and assisting other ministries, Laurie has authored over 65 books including Hope for Hurting Hearts, For Every Season, The Greatest Stories Ever Told, Signs Of The Times, and God's Design for Christian Dating,What every Christian needs to know, to name just a few. His books have been translated into many languages, including Korean, Latvian, Portuguese, German, and Spanish.

His autobiography, Lost Boy, was released by Regal Books, is one of the best selling Christian biographies in recent times. The accompanying documentary film, Lost Boy: The Next Chapter, has won a number of awards at film festivals around the world.

He has written study notes for two Bibles in the New Living Translation: the New Believer's Bible and The Seeker's Bible. He was also the editor for the recently-released Start! Bible in the New King James Version, published by Thomas Nelson.

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Share Your Faith, January 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Share Your Faith (Paperback)

This book lives up to its name. The content is simple yet importantly powerful. It deals with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and gives insight into how to be effective in sharing this message. Greg Laurie's comparison of fishing to sharing one's faith is accurate and humorous. The most impressive aspect of this book is its emphasis that the desire to witness (sharing the faith) must be given by God. The short length of the book makes it readable for any Christian (young or old).

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential tool, March 22, 2000

Robert Earl Smith II (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Share Your Faith (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book because it highlights those subtle intricacies that new believers and/or those who haven't done much if any witnessing, should know. What to look for, bring out, and how to close the deal are vital topics for sucessful witnessing. He also clearly explains why a decisionfor Christ should not be delayed, in a way that can be easily duplicated. The explanations and use of Rev. Laurie's sometimes comically persented personal experiences bring this info down to the place where all ages and backgrounds can understand it, especially teens. Lastly, the book, like Rev. Laurie's preaching is so down to earth that anyone wanting to learn will and those who don't will be left questioning what they really do believe. I highly recommend the book.

This review is from: How to Share Your Faith (Paperback)

"How To Share Your Faith" by Greg Laurie is a concise title on how Christians may share their faith in Jesus Christ with others. Among the points covered include:

1. Effectively sharing your faith begins with a God-given burden.
2. Only God can bring about a true conversion.
3. Sharing the Gospel requires patience.
4. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's timing and always be ready.
5. Different methods work with different people.
6. Often the best form of evangelism is listening to people talk about themselves.
7. When witnessing, use tact and try to avoid arguments.
8. Reasons why a person will come to faith in Christ.

An encouraging read that challenges Christians to be bold, yet tactful and loving, when sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.

Recommended.
