Witness Essentials: Evangelism that Makes Disciples (The Essentials)
"Having worked closely and shared life deeply with Pastor Dan Meyer, I know his heartbeat for those desperate for good news. Meyer has provided us with an unfolding, step-by-step approach that equips God's people with the clarity of what the good news of Christ actually is and how to build a bridge to the hearts of those who need it. Jesus implored us to pray for workers to go into the harvest. Here is a tool that puts legs on that prayer and helps instill passion to sustain it." (Greg Ogden, author of Discipleship Essentials)"Don't miss the adventure of pointing people toward Jesus! My friend Dan Meyer will inspire, teach and equip you to confidently share Christ with others." (Lee Strobel, author, The Case for Christ)"Too many well-meaning Christians reduce evangelism to the minimum set of requirements needed to get into heaven. InWitness Essentials,Dan Meyer masterfully captures the fullness of the gospel movement Jesus started two thousand years ago and how every believer can move beyond unfortunate evangelism stereotypes to live out that deep desire inside every Christian--to play a role in helping others begin a relationship with Jesus. Witness Essentials is theologically well-grounded, true to real life and filled with relationally intelligent and practical steps to help people be the witness for Christ they long to be. I wish it was required reading for every Christian serious about inviting others into the great adventure of knowing and walking with God." (Jim Mellado, president, Willow Creek Association)"Dan has written a book that is deeply informed without being tedious, challenging without being finger-pointing and helpful without being formulaic. If you love evangelism--and especially if you don't!--this is your kind of book." (John Ortberg, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church and author of The Me I Want to Be)"This book will sneak up on you. . . . its richness and range just won't let it be easily categorized. Want some early church history? How about some current information on the expansion of the church worldwide? Need some help with apologetics? Maybe you need some inspiration? Or practical help in knowing how to have spiritual conversations with others? Yep--all that, and more, is in these pages. Daniel Meyer has helped us realize that being a witness is something we both do and are. He appropriately calls us to a different life if we want a different world."
