Synopsis

Many of the old methods of evangelism no longer work effectively today. We need new methods to communicate the timeless message of the gospel in culturally relevant ways.In a post-Christian, post-churched, post-reached world, most Christians have been poorly equipped to tell their friends about Jesus. Dr. Chan combines the theological and biblical insights of classic evangelistic training with his own and hard-won insights from missiology on contextualization, cultural hermeneutics, and storytelling.Every chapter is illustrated with real-world examples drawn from over fifteen years of evangelistic ministry across the globe. These are methods that really work—with university students, urban workers, and professionals—getting past the defensive posture that people have toward Christianity so they can seriously consider the claims of Jesus Christ.Field-tested and filled with unique, fresh, and creative insights, this book will equip you to share the gospel in today's world and help as many people as possible hear the good news about Jesus.

Goodreads review by Logan

Although I give this four stars, I think everyone should read it because it does such a great job at breaking down our traditional ways of sharing the gospel with people and first looks at the audience with which we are trying to share with and use that to inform HOW we go about sharing with others!......more

Goodreads review by Brian

Very solid book that engages with the topic very well. The author has great thoughts and presents them with humility and appropriate challenge for Western Christians seeking to engage our culture with the gospel. I lost interest in some of the chapters which is why it took me so long to finish the b......more
