Your Home A Lighthouse: Hosting An Evangelistic Bible Study [Paperback]

Bob Jacks (Author), Betty Jacks (Author), Sr. Ron Wormser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 4, 1987

THERE'S NO BETTER WAY TO WARM YOUR HOME THAN WITH A NEIGHBORHOOD EVANGELISTIC BIBLE STUDY. "We had never seen ourselves as evangelists or missionaries and still don't," write Bob and Betty Jacks. "But the relationship we had in knowing Christ was too good not to share it with others." So they apprehensively opened their home for a weekly Bible study. Surprised by the results, Bob and Betty quickly shed their fears and proceeded to make a significant impact on their community. Here's the practical guidebook that grew out of the Jacks' years of experience with evangelistic studies. You'll learn how to start one in your own home (or office or campus). You'll find out who to invite. What to study. How to ask good questions. How to answer them. And when to encourage a decision for Christ. Ultimately, you'll discover that the secret isn't in your personal skills or power with people. It's in a simple, heartfelt concern for your nonChristian friends-and the power of God's word. Now that's the kind of housewarming your home needs!

Your Home A Lighthouse demonstrates a very simple way to share your Christian faith with friends, neighbors and coworkers who are open to hearing about your beliefs. Opening your home, reading straight from the Bible (Book of John), and being real and transparent with people impacts their interest where biases might previously have existed against Christianity. This book is a great tool for a group of people who want to talk about who Jesus said he was/is, and how the Bible details his life. So many lives around the world have been changed as a result of this effective approach to faith discussions. I highly recommend exploring the Jacks' method and applying it to your life. Make your home a lighthouse, too.

I bought this book upon the recommendation of a friend of the author. I was specifically looking for some insight into how to engage members of my Sunday school class in evangelistic outreach in their homes. This book is exactly what I needed. It is clearly and simply written. The suggestions are rooted in the fundamentals and honed by real experiences. I especially liked the testimonies that lead into each chapter. They are extremely encouraging. In just a few weeks, we'll be implementing this approach using much of the material the author has provided.
