Witness Essentials: Evangelism that Makes Disciples
We know the radical difference the gospel of Jesus Christ makes, and we want others to see and enjoy its benefits. In fact, we don't want them to just pray a prayer and move on to the next interesting thing. We want them to sink their roots deeply into the grace of God. So often, though, we feel that we are inadequate to this important task--that we don't know enough or that we will offend our friends. Daniel Meyer has provided the tools you need to move forward: the basics of the gospel message the role of life change in our witness how to present the good news The Bible studies, exercises and readings in this book will deepen your personal faith and equip you to minister to others with a new sense of confidence and calling.

I really enjoyed this book!! There was so much wisdom to be gleaned from these pages and I feel I have only captured a portion of it.
Notable Quotes:
“We who are affluent often expend staggering resources to buy products we do not need with money we do not have to impress people we do not particularly like” (page 43).
“The English word “witness” comes from the Greek word martyr” (page 60).
“It’s important to show a profound interest in and respect for the yearnings that people express, because they are the cry of the God-shaped vacuum in people’s hearts” (page 114).
Things to be aware of in “Witness Essentials”

中文名《合神心意的见证》，金陵神学院出版。游走于福音派的边缘，实用主义大过对经文和教义的探索。声称要成为见证，但是对于福音是什么、见证什么却只字不提。

This is the resource I've been waiting for. The best disciple-making curriculum I've yet seen.
