description: Evangelism . The very word makes palms sweat and images spin: buttonholing in a city park knocking on neighborhood doors being conscripted into evangelistic campaigns to say nothing of that annoying religious neighbor or coworker. We have met the evangelistsand they are not us. If evangelism is the welcome door to faith why does it grate open on rusting hinges? Mark Teasdale has met these challenges and more. They come in the shape of students in his evangelism class. In Evangelism for Non-Evangelists he sympathizes with the perceptions and discomfort we bring to evangelism. But he also opens up a nonthreatening space for us to weigh what we believe the evangel of evangelismthe good news!to be. And he helps us navigate our way toward expressing the gospel in a manner true to what we believe authentic to who we are and attractive and even compelling to others. For pastors seminarians church leaders and lay people here is a refreshing practical and companionable look at evangelism. It might even chart a course toward your own authentic evangelism.
