From the cover Fred Bishop, a Baptist minister states, "This is the most thorough work of its kind that I have ever seen or heard about.  Gary is the most knowledgeable person I know of in the basic skills of evangelism.  He has done them all and done them consistently in the United States and in England.  I... recommend this to anyone who is interested in knowing how to go about obeying the Great Commission."
