In his new book, Evangelism: A Biblical Response to Today's Questions, J. D. Payne responds to today's most commonly asked questions. Written in an engaging style with concise chapters, this book establishes a biblical, theological, and practical foundation for missional living.

<ul>
<li>What is evangelism anyway?</li>
<li>What is the gospel?</li>
<li>What is repentance?</li>
<li>If God is in control, then why do we need to share the gospel?</li>
