This book is a hidden gem. Though it may not get a lot of press in its lifetime, it will be at the top of my recommendation list for Christian spiritual formation.
Iorg takes such a balanced approach in his authorship to lay out the mission and the methodology behind evangelism. He does not overreach in his usage of Scripture and come across as either punitive or dismissive in regard to whether the Church cares to be bold with the Gospel. He simply plants his flag in the ground that this matters to him, mattered to Jesus, and proceeds to outline a path for Christians to be engaged with the Gospel.
I'd recommend this book to: -Christians who care to witness but are scared. -New believers learning why we share our faith. -Pastors who want to equip their church to be on mission for the Gospel.
This book teaches you how to practically share the Gospel of Jesus with others in your everyday life. It’s not about a script to follow or method to camp on. It is adapting to each situation to understand how we can be intentional to share Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
