This is my favorite book out of the rest of the assigned books for the Evangelism and Discipleship class. The chapters were the right length to keep you engaged, the examples of the various way to evangelize and how to disciple are great. I even like the section on Apologetics and Evangelism. I constantly refer to this book for more insight and understanding to help grow my evangelism and discipleship ministry.
Love the way Timothy gently pushes Christian’s to Christ’s command to evangelize the nations. He also gives excellent resources to make that happen. A must read!
