Description

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.

Drawing on a wealth of material from Scripture along with copious illustrations from his own experience, Bernard challenges us to recover the art of soul–winning. Especially helpful is the way he supports the heartbeat of the book—‘why we should share our faith’—with really helpful resources on ‘how we can’.

Richard Underwood, Pastoral Ministries Director, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (Retired)

The church in the UK is in sharp decline and if that trend is to be reversed, we need to come back to the gospel of grace and regain a love for the lost: the love that drove Jesus to the cross in humble obedience to His Father. With passion and winsomeness, Bernard Palmer encourages us to do just that. This book is packed with personal anecdotes, practical tips and helpful illustrations that urge us to proclaim the gospel of Christ, who alone can save us.

Is the privilege of telling people about salvation through Jesus Christ confined to the ‘professionals’ – evangelists, pastors and clergy? Mr Palmer thinks otherwise, and, what I have long admired, practices what he preaches when urging us believers to be bolder in sharing the good news with others. I suspect that many will find, as I have, that what he has to say is a word in season.

Dick Lucas, Formerly Rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate, London

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.
