Sharing the Gospel Is Awkward.

Sharing the Gospel Is Awkward.

Altar calls, laser lights; musical performances, charismatic preaching—these are the common images that come to mind when we think of evangelism. But what if evangelism was much simpler, more grounded, and something every believer could engage in daily?

In Evangelism, J. Mack Stiles distills evangelism down to its biblical essence and encourages us to see evangelism as a natural outflow of a gospel-centered life. He reminds us that evangelism is something we do together as a church. One person can invite a visitor for coffee, another can guide them through a 1-to-1 Bible study, while others in the church prepare gospel-centered songs and preaching. It's a collective effort where every member plays a part in making Christ known.

Addressing contemporary misunderstandings of evangelism that often reduce it to mere techniques or flashy events, Stiles reminds Christians to see evangelism as ultimately God-initiated, Christ-centered and church-empowered—a perspective that frees us from the pressure of successful conversions and the fear of rejection.
