Evangelism for the Rest of Us - by Mike Bechtle (Paperback)

About the Book

Shows readers how to ditch fear and learn to share their faith in ways that are comfortable and compatible with their unique personality.

Book Synopsis

Witnessing to strangers is fine for extroverts. But what about the rest of us?

Learn how to:
- Share your faith more comfortably
- Discover your strengths
- Define your personality type

The most common methods of evangelism are tailor-made for extroverts. But what about those of us who are less outgoing? We may be left with feelings of guilt for not stepping out and saying more, fear of letting others down, and the desire to become someone we're not deep down.

The problem, says Mike Bechtle, is not your personality, but that you've been taught methods of evangelism that push you too far out of your comfort zone.

In Evangelism for the Rest of Us, Bechtle shows you how to share your faith in more comfortable ways by helping you discover and define your unique strengths within your personality type. With fresh, biblical insight, this much-needed resource renews a passion for sharing Christ with others--because sharing the Good News does not have to be so intimidating.

From the Back Cover

Witnessing to strangers is fine for extroverts. But what about the rest of us?

The thought of evangelizing makes your knees shake. You feel guilty about not sharing your faith more often. You think, If only I were more outgoing! Yet the problem isn't with your personality.

Evangelism for the Rest of Us shows you how to witness in ways that are compatible with who God created you to be. Instead of going so far out of your comfort zone, you can use your unique strengths to influence others in powerful ways. This book's fresh, biblical insight will revive your passion for sharing Christ as you learn to work within your personality style instead of against it.
