The Gospel and Personal Evangelism (Mark Dever)

$10.75$12.99

Evangelism is not only misunderstood, it is often unpracticed. Many Christians want to share the gospel with others, but because we don’t grasp the fundamentals of witnessing, we feel intimidated and incapable of sharing the truth of the gospel. Here’s a book that offers real help to form in ourselves a habit of genuine personal evangelism.

“For most of us, personal evangelism is the reverse of easy, and so it becomes a task we evade. Mark Dever writes to shake us up about this, clearing our heads as to just what evangelizing involves and motivating our hearts to go to it realistically and responsibly. This is a word in season that will surely do a great deal of good.” – J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

The Gospel and Personal Evangelism

Evangelism is not only largely misunderstood today, it is often quite neglected among Christians too.  Many believers have a desire to share the gospel with others, but they feel intimidated and paralyzed when it comes to how to go about doing so. Yet God has given us answers in the Bible that instruct and equip us to share the good news with others.

In The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Mark Dever seeks to answer the pressing questions that many Christians ask about evangelism: What is evangelism? Why should we evangelize? Why don’t we evangelize? Who should we evangelize? How should we evangelize?

This book draws from New Testament truths and Dever’s personal experience in sharing the gospel in order to help believers apply those truths in practical ways. As readers understand the biblical foundations of evangelism, they will begin to develop a habit of evangelism in their lives and local churches.

“Dever has done every Christian and pastor a tremendous favor. With great humility, he helps us to connect the dots of our hopes for seeing people saved with the truth about the gospel and evangelism itself. This little book searches our hearts, corrects our thinking, calls us to faithfulness and encourages us with practical examples and exhortations.”
