Randy Newman is an evangelist of many years’ standing with Campus Crusade for Christ. This book is a long read, but broken up into 13 chapters, dealing with many different topics which commonly challenge any Christian seeking to witness to the truth of the gospel.
The main thrust, which Newman repeatedly emphasises, is his refreshing and distinctive approach to evangelism. He postulates the necessity of three skills — those of declaring, defending and dialoguing the gospel. He believes those skills will reach a much higher degree of impact and effectiveness through the evangelist asking questions, rabbinic style, to help to guide the non-believer towards saving faith in Christ, rather than through the more conventional method of direct proclamation. There is a section of questions on each chapter to help the reader work through and apply this rabbinic method.
