description: With a gutless orthodoxy Christians today quickly affirm biblical truth regarding evangelism and mission but author Jeremy Walker reminds us we cannot pretend that we know and believe the truth about men souls heaven hell and salvation unless it is making a difference in the way we think feel pray speak and act. How do Christians develop this sense of urgency to see lost sinners saved? What motivates our evangelism? We must have the character of the brokenhearted evangelist the David of Psalm 51 who recognizes the greatness of his own sin looks to God for forgiveness then recognizes his undeniable obligation to teach transgressors Gods ways. In an engaging style and with pastoral warmth Walker urges Christians to exercise their obligation and privilege to teach transgressors Gods ways providing both spiritual truth and practical guidance for carrying out this necessary gospel duty.Table of Contents:Preface Am I Willing? Our Undeniable Obligation Am I Effective? Our Necessary Equipment Am I Committed? Our Appointed Means Am I Focused? Our Declared Aim Am I Fruitful? Our Great ExpectationAuthor Jeremy Walker is a pastor of Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley England and co-author of A Portrait of Paul: Identifying a True Minister of Christ.Endorsements In recent years providence has brought a number of people into my life and ministry who are passionate about evangelism. Some of them are especially keen to win friends fellow-workers and family to Christ; others are engaged in various kinds of open-air evangelism bringing the gospel to people they have never met before. I thank God for all of them and the passion that drives them. This excellent book by Jeremy Walker explains the biblical principles that underlie and provoke such passion reminding us that time is short the need is urgent the laborers are few and the fields are white unto harvest.  John MacArthurJeremy Walkers book is in the tradition of the Puritan classic Joseph Alleines Alarm to the Unconverted but this is more Jeremy Walkers Alarm to the Converted. It is a pleasant surprise coming as it does from a part of our world where Christianity has largely entered a garrison (bunker) mode. The book based on Psalm 51:13 is not meant simply to teach us about evangelism; it demands a verdict. He enlists the help of the great soul winners in history to reinforce his appeals. Even before I finished reading the book I was already asking myself whether my heart was truly broken about the lost around meand if it is what am I doing about it?  Conrad Mbewe Pastor Kabwata Baptist Church Lusaka ZambiaThe Broken Hearted Evangelist will refresh strengthen and equip the most timid saint for the work of soul winning. Jeremy Walkers consideration of evangelism from the perspective of Psalm 51 is like fresh water drawn from a new well. He does not merely exhort us to greater faithfulness in evangelism and then leave us bewildered and guilty. Instead he takes us to the very fountain from which all true motivation and strength for evangelism springs forththe gospel and its glorious impact upon our own lives.  Paul WasherThe Brokenhearted Evangelist is a challenging call to our great responsibility and glorious privilege of personally sharing the gospel of Christ with others. In this book Pastor Jeremy Walker does a superb job of showing us from the life of David that mercies received from God are to be a key motivating factor for us telling others about Him.
