An excellent book on evangelism. It's touching, funny, an easy read and manages to be engaging without sacrificing theological depth.
Those who've taken part in Becky's evangelism training sessions will recognise many themes re-emerging in Section 1 - especially the emphasis on relying on the Spirit whilst celebrating our humanity and weakness. Section 2 looks at the major acts of salvation history - creation, fall, the cross, resurrection and renewal of the universe - and suggests touching points that allow us speak of them in a way that demonstrates that the gospel truly is good news. Section 3 is the most practical section of the book, with a strong emphasis on asking questions, using the Bible in evangelism and the value of relationships.
I found it slightly frustrating that Becky only ever spoke of the task of evangelism in quite individualistic terms when the normal pattern of Scripture is that it is a corporate activity. But Becky's genius is that she makes ordinary Christians think that they too have a part to play - and I hope many are compelled to do so having read this book.

A really good read for all christians but especially for students looking to learn the truth behind evangelism!! Rebecca looks into the meaning, the mission and the method behind effective, jesus-focused evangelism in today's world. Highly recommended!!
