Get the Word Out: How God Shapes and Sends His Witnesses

by John Teter, J. Robert Clinton (Foreword by)

Do you love to talk to others about Jesus? Do you want to share your faith but wonder if the right words will come? Do you think of evangelism as a spiritual gift for extroverts--not you? Whether you love evangelism or fear it, this book is for you. John Teter offers stories from his experiences leading seeker Bible studies and witnessing to people around him that will motivate and astound. He reveals the transforming power of the Word of God on the lives of unbelievers. This book powerfully shows how your witness is backed up by God, who follows through on the work he prompts you to begin. Even now God is preparing the way for you to get his Word out to those around you. Will you accept the challenge?

Reviews

[Liz · Rating 2 out of 5]

Had I not read Get the Word Out right before Out of the Salt Shaker, I might have rated it higher. But if you're going to read a book on evangelism, this one is okay, but Out of the Salt Shaker is much more comprehensive, thorough, and practical.

Pros:
End-of-chapter bulleted summary is useful
Interesting stories of Teter's evangelism experience on college campuses
End-of-chapter growth step questions are useful

Not necessarily practical teaching (i.e. how-tos), but great insight, stories, and helpful metaphors of accessible evangelism.

It was good. Not my favorite soul reaching book, but it had good stuff in it. The key to any on these books is to read, learn and do! I learned some things to act on...
