Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for
a.k.a. “Lost”

“Jim Henderson is a voice for normalized evangelism–heretofore an oxymoron. Henderson has given value back to each Christian’s ordinary attempts to simply shine the light of Christ in our everyday encounters, encouraging us to act in faithfulness and put the results in God’s hands.”
–Lynne Marian, executive editor of Outreach Magazine

“I can think of no other book that rings as true with what is really happening in the post-Christian generations. Jim Henderson writes from the vantage point of being among the very people most Christians have distanced themselves from and don’t understand. Get several copies of a.k.a. ‘Lost’ and share them with people in your church.”
–Dan Kimball, pastor, author of The Emerging Church and Emerging Worship

“If you have a heart for extending the kingdom of God, this book will both challenge and encourage you to make a difference on planet earth for eternity. And it will take your thinking and turn it on its ear.”
–Steve Sjogren, conference speaker, author of Conspiracy of Kindness

“Jim Henderson has said it well: Ordinary attempts are never ordinary when they are done in the name of Jesus Christ. This truly is a movement–a movement that will result in extraordinary results as God uses us in our everyday lives to bring home the people He misses most.”
–Dr. David Foster, senior pastor of Bellevue Community Church, Nashville, Tennessee, and author of Accept No Mediocre Life

“By reading a.k.a. ‘Lost,’ perhaps you’ll become the answer to somebody’s first fledgling prayers: ‘God, please help me find someone to talk to about my questions and doubts...’”
–Brian McLaren, pastor, author of A New Kind of Christian and The Church on the Other Side

“Jim Henderson hopes to help Christians become the kindest people on earth.
Those who read this delightful, honest, and funny book will be taking a good
first step. Those who take its wisdom to heart might just get there.”
–Christine Wicker, award-winning journalist, author of God Knows My Heart: Finding a Faith That Fits

“In his journey into real conversations with real people, Jim Henderson has come to some fascinating and useful conclusions. Check out a.k.a. ‘Lost’ to join the journey and get some great, down-to-earth, practical advice.”
–Todd Hunter, national director of Alpha-USA, former national director of Vineyard-USA


Product Description


What if “evangelism” meant just being yourself?


If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is “witnessing” often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn’t it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson?

What if…
•you didn’t have to make a speech in order to “witness”?
•you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus?
•the things you’re already doing counted as evangelism?

Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus.

This isn’t another program or pitch. It’s a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost.

Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evangelism For The Rest Of Us, August 20, 2007
I'll admit I'm at a loss sometimes when it comes to sharing my faith. With this book evangelism becomes just as simple as talking to a friend. Jim Henderson gives great advice, and he follows it up with a thirteen week study. The writing is clear and easy to understand. He stresses that we do better, if we just try to be ourselves, to talk to others, instead of talking down to them. A good handbook that will help the reader do a better job of teling others about spiritual things without turning them off. If you shy away from sharing your beliefs, then give Evangelism Without Additives a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars Evangelism, March 10, 2008
I loved this book. I enjoy the way Jim looks at reaching people. I have been using a lot of the ideas in the book and I ma having a blast. I have been a big Steve Sjogren fan and his book " Servant Evangelism" and this is just as good if not better. Over and over he talks about learning to listen to people. Counting conversations and not conversions. Well written and fun. I would recommend this book to anyone who is frustrated by all the pressure that is out on us to share our faith and to close the deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great suggestions and spirit, light on Scripture, February 5, 2008
This book is great on practical suggestions for ordinary people to do evangelism and has a great spirit about reaching the lost. It is light on scripture and I think does not give enough weight to the possibility that the Holy Spirit may give people the right words and boldness to speak out more than they might ordinarily do. But I don't think that it is a big problem given the limited focus of the book, and it more than adequately meets its goal of aiding those of us who are "ordinary" in our efforts to talk to the lost among us.
