JUST WALK ACROSS THE ROOM
By Bill Hybels
Zondervan. 224 pages. £8.99
ISBN 0 310 27218 2

Bill Hybels, senior Pastor of Willow Creek in South Barrington Illinois and well-known conference speaker and author, wants all of us ‘ordinary’ Christians to take the risk of a ‘walk across the room’ to talk to people we don’t know well; the risk of making real friendships with non-Christians; the risk of speaking about the amazing love of God.

As Christians, Hybels suggests, we need to re-learn what happened when Christ ‘walked across the cosmos’ all the way to the cross: what matters most to God is people who need reconciling to him, and that’s what should matter most to us.
