Just walk across the room – simple steps pointing people to faith

Forlagets omtale:
More than two thousand years ago, Jesus himself introduced the perfect model for evangelism. He left the marvelous adoration of the angels and the perfection of heaven itself, and he chose to 'walk' clear across the cosmos. He had no memorized script. No forced formulas. Instead, he was armed only with an offer of redemption to people just like you and me, many of whom were neck-deep in pain of their own making. Today, the goal for every Christ-follower is to reflect his love and repeat his action by taking simple walks across rooms-leaving our circles of comfort and extending hands of care, compassion, and inclusiveness to people living far from God. Building on the solid foundation laid in Becoming a Contagious Christian (1994), Just Walk Across the Room signals the next era in personal evangelism. Pastor Bill Hybels' firm conviction is that the highest value in personal evangelism is being attuned to and cooperative with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This means playing only the role you are intended to play-walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when the Spirit says to talk, and falling silent when the Spirit suggests that you've already said enough. Hybels encourages Christ-followers to 'live in 3D'-Developing friendships, Discovering Stories, and Discerning appropriate next steps-as a means of learning to discern the Spirit's promptings. With fresh perspectives from his own reflections and experiences collected during his most recent decade of ministry, he shows with undeniable clarity the power of this approach to evangelism. The stakes are high. The implications are eternal. And you may be only a conversation away from having unparalleled impact on someone's life-if you will Just Walk Across the Room.
