The Duty of a Disciple: Is Evangelism Outdated?
ISBN: 9781527105409Sharing 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.
Author: Bernard V. Palmer is an evangelistic Bible teacher, Trustee of the Christian Medical Fellowship and author of Cure for Life. He is married to Rosy. Endorsements: "The remarkable surgeon evangelist, Dr Bernard Palmer, has written a critical diagnosis for the church in the UK. His prognosis is that we must 'evangelise or die', because in so many places the church is getting older and smaller. His book is, therefore, a passionate call to action, which I found deeply inspiring and profoundly disturbing in equal measure. On every page I could hear the echo of 2 Kings 7 verse 9: 'What we're doing is not right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves.'" "This passionate and warm-hearted practical guide will motivate not depress, instruct and not simply incur guilt and above all encourage those who respond to its message to see that our everyday lives can count in new ways for Christ and his Kingdom. It packs a challenge which we need to hear and heed." "This is one of the most refreshing and somehow discomforting books I have read in ages. This is infectious and important stuff and I am determined to read it with my local Christian friends to see if we can become infected and effective." "This excellent book will be a blessing to any believer looking to be equipped for the work of spreading the gospel to the lost. It is passionate without being manipulative. It convicts with the logic and glory of the gospel rather than guilt. It is thoroughly Scriptural and immensely practical without resorting to pragmatism or faith in methodologies. This book has helped me personally and will be a resource I look to for to help in equipping others. I highly recommend it."
