GoodBookStall Review:
The simple construction of this book belies the significance it could have. Exploring a list of reasons why we often find evangelism difficult and then a list of possibilities makes this book very easy to read. Each chapter is just a few pages long. The premise is also difficult to argue with. The theory (p14) is that we need to shine as a light in the darkness. It is not a case of organizing and preaching at the right event, but of letting the light shine in everyday things. Not surprisingly, the list of what we can do includes ‘accept others the way they are’, ‘be a friend’, ‘be real’. On the one hand this is not ground braking stuff. On the other some of the stories are good and the whole book does leave you with that anticipated outcome: ‘I can do this’. That in itself is a gift.
