Sharing the good news is one of the most caring things we can do for other people, so why are we so reluctant to do it? Bernard Palmer encourages us to speak openly about Jesus to the people around us. Making sure we understand the gospel we have been instructed to proclaim, he guides us through the biblical basis and examples, and gives us some practical tips for evangelising.

The remarkable surgeon evangelist, Dr Bernard Palmer, has written a critical diagnosis for the church in the UK. His prognosis is that we must ‘evangelise or die’, because in so many places the church is getting older and smaller. His book is, therefore, a passionate call to action, which I found deeply inspiring and profoundly disturbing in equal measure. On every page I could hear the echo of 2 Kings 7 verse 9: ‘What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves.’

Rico Tice, Evangelist; Co–founder of Christianity Explored Ministries

In the flyleaf of my Bible I have a quote from Charles Spurgeon, ‘The joy of Jesus is the joy of saving sinners.’ With passion flowing a lifetime of personal evangelism, Bernard Palmer reminds us that the joy of Jesus is to be shared by all His disciples and that being Christlike includes speaking to others of the grace of God. Filled with Scripture and illustrations from history and personal experience, this book is both a challenge and an encouragement to prayerfully seek and seize daily opportunities to speak to others about our Lord Jesus.

‘Do you have a faith yourself, or aren’t you sure about these things?’ Moved by the love of Christ and gripped by the challenge of mission, Bernard has been asking questions like this for generations. Balancing a convincing biblical challenge with helpful practical advice, this excellent book encourages every Christian to embrace the essential work of personal evangelism in everyday life. With less than half of UK based evangelical mission agencies seeing a place for evangelism in their work today, this book could not be more timely!

Michael Prest, Director, UFM Worldwide

Bernard is passionately concerned to share the good news of God’s reconciling love in Jesus. He is also devoted to encouraging other Christians to be equally committed to intentionally share the Gospel with their neighbours, friends and colleagues at work and play. This book is full of practical wisdom about how to go about being an effective witness for Christ. There are numerous personal reminiscences and illuminating stories showing us how to be effective evangelists. Those with leadership roles in the Church have special responsibilities in making the Gospel attractive and credible but, for Bernard, they don’t have a monopoly. Every Christian has a duty to make Christ, His person and His work, known as widely as possible. Bernard’s book shows us how to and is, therefore, warmly to be welcomed.

Jesus said ‘the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few’. Am I part of the problem or part of the solution? Distilled from a lifetime of study and practice, Dr. Palmer has given us a book full of careful Biblical insight and wise practical advice that directly addresses this critical need. Why and how should you and I become harvest workers, bringing the good news of Jesus to those around us? I strongly commend this important book.
