The gospel really is the best news anyone will ever receive. So why do Christians shy away from talking about Jesus outside of church? And, when they do speak of Jesus, why do they often get a disinterested or scornful reponse? Mack Stiles offers a wealth of answers, ideas and stories in this heads-up, hands-on evangelism handbook. His creative strategies for reaching an ethnically, culturally, economically, educationally, geographically and ideologically diverse world with the best news ever are drawn directly from his own work as an evangelist in today's student world. In Speaking of Jesus he shows readers how to keep their eyes open for "divine appointments," how to approach others with a servant spirit, how to cross relational barriers, how to simply tell one's own story of faith, and how to answer questions with honesty and confidence. Speaking of Jesus may well be an Out of the Saltshaker for the 1990s and beyond. With contagious enthusiasm, Stiles stresses that evangelism isn't about exhibiting superhuman courage or perfecting specialized techniques or exercising extraordinary gifts. Instead, he shows that people of faith can use everyday situations and everyday language to pass on the simple--and simply wonderful--news about Jesus.

Many think evangelism is rooted in a method. It is rooted in something much deeper. It is found in what makes us whole and healthy messengers of God's truth about Jesus. Mack Stiles has lived the life of the healthy evangelist in homes and coffee shops, at universities and farms. He has lived out and spoken about the gospel to Kenyans, Koreans, Arabs and North Americans. What he has learned around the world and at home is summarized here in a few basic truths that can shape any of us into faithful people who bring good news to needy and hurting friends. The whole gospel changes much more than our relationship with God. Stiles shows how it changes all of who we are and what we do. It means learning the whole gospel without shaping its message to meet our tastes. It means not just going through the motions of accepted behaviors. It means showing the unity of witness and justice. It means love. It means community. Join Mack Stiles in a life-giving adventure of boldly knowing, living and speaking the gospel.

Marks of the Messenger: Knowing, Living and Speaking the Gospel

Dever, Mark

Evangelism is more than a program.
Every few years, churches jump into the latest evangelistic fad. Leaders administrate the new program, and members go on a raid. But picture a church where evangelism is simply part of the culture. Leaders share their faith consistently and openly. Members follow, encouraging one another to make evangelism an ongoing way of life.
Such is the way of evangelism presented by this brief and compelling book. No program here. Instead, it just might give your church a new way to live and share the gospel together.

How Do I Get Started in Evangelism? (Church Questions)

Churches kick adult Sunday school to the curb for a host of reasons: they don’t have enough teachers; they don’t want to burden Sunday schedules; they believe it’s a relic of the past. Basically, adult Sunday school is a dinosaur, right? That’s why young churches often don’t have them, and mature churches let them carry on as they’ve always done. But wait! Do you know what you might be missing? What if we could use it to pack gospel-centered biblical content into our congregations? And equip the saints for the work of ministry? And change our church cultures in everything from dating, to evangelism, to knowing God’s will? If we content ourselves with a 45 minute Sunday sermon for instructing the saints, we’re letting the Friday night movie beat out our time investment into them by double. That’s why we want to push the retro envelope and encourage you to reclaim adult Sunday school. If you don’t have it, get it. If you have it, consider how you might make more of it.

"LA EVANGELIZACIÓN ES MÁS QUE UN PROGRAMA Cada cierto tiempo, las iglesias se unen a la última moda evangelística. Los líderes administran el nuevo programa, y los miembros se lanzan al ataque. Pero imagínate una iglesia en la que la evangelización es simplemente parte de la cultura. Los líderes comparten su fe de una manera consistente y abierta. Los miembros les siguen, animándose los unos a los otros para hacer que la evangelización sea una forma de vida continua. Esta clase de evangelización es la que se presenta en este breve y convincente libro. No hay programas. En su lugar, puede que tu iglesia adopte una nueva forma de vivir y compartir el evangelio juntos. “El mejor libro acerca de la evangelización sería aquel que fuese directamente al corazón del asunto y fuese escrito por un evangelista. En otras palabras, sería este libro”. R. ALBERT MOHLER JR., Presidente y Profesor Joseph Emerson Brown de Teología Cristiana, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Estoy genuinamente emocionado por este libro. Los libros de Stiles acerca de la evangelización son estupendos porque combinan ayuda práctica con madurez teológica. Además, él verdaderamente practica lo que prescribe”. KEVIN DEYOUNG, Pastor principal, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan “Este libro acerca de la evangelización exalta a Cristo y está lleno del evangelio, como ningún otro. Más que darte una metodología personal, te motiva profundamente a proclamar y llevar el fruto de las noticias revolucionarias de Jesús como el cuerpo de la iglesia”. RICHARD CHIN, Director Nacional, Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students"
