Have you ever wanted to share the Gospel but felt inadequate to do so? The Evangelism Explosion book and program will help you build confidence in your ability to talk about Jesus to other people including strangers. Some would call this a canned approach to evangelism and I have heard criticism of the program based upon that complaint. I do not find the description or criticism to be valid. Peter tells us to stand ready to defend our faith. How can you be ready if you don't study and learn scripture? The program includes such things as common objections and the general lack of understanding about how one is actually saved. When participating in the program I learned that many who consider themselves Christian can not explain what the Bible teaches about salvation. When we went into the field, we learned the truth of that for ourselves. Sometimes those who are Christians, caught off guard, stumble over the answer but it is generally pretty easy to separate them from those who truly don't have a clue. I was really surprised at how many people answered with some variation of I try to live a good life. I've never killed anybody.
The book and the program are biblically based and recognize the key roles of scripture, prayer and the Holy Spirit in witnessing.
