![]() Each chapter begins by inviting us into the world of the Jehovah's Witness - to understand the basis of their beliefs and practices and how these influence their views of mainstream Christianity. He understands that successful gospel ministry starts with us entering the world of the person we are giving the message to. ![]() Tony understands what it means to put the Apostle Paul's words into practice: "I have become all things to all people" (1 Corinthians 9:22). He also writes with precision and purpose as he tackles key topics such as the Trinity, the name of God, and the deity of Jesus, and provides a strategy for taking conversations beyond "Bible ping pong" on the doorstep to meaningful exchanges that speak to the heart of a Jehovah's Witness. He writes with passion and conviction as one who has been freed from the false teachings of the Watchtower Society. Tony's easy to read and easy to follow style combined with his personal experience of being a Witness provides an informed and helpful insight to the beliefs and practices of Jehovah's witnesses, and how we can respond to them. Tony Brown's guide to sharing the gospel with Jehovah's Witnesses might be compact, but it certainly packs a lot in. The reader is encouraged by the way the content is not abstractly theoretical but is solidly grounded and explained by a person for whom Christian witness has been a consistent aspect of their discipleship. The book can be read in just a couple of hours. The book is not technical but it is winsome. He gives simple demonstrations of ways he answers common questions like all religions being equal and he also gives a straightforward way to lead someone into taking the step of commitment to Christ.Īll of this material is very helpful and is pitched at ordinary people. Lennox discusses how to use Scripture in evangelism as well as the importance of behaviour in conveying the message. He then demonstrates ways to turn the topic from general chit-chat to the Christian hope in a natural way which engages people and gets them thinking. Lennox illustrates with many ways he has begun conversations, for example with people he was sitting on a train with. This may sound simple, but I certainly found it a refreshing encouragement to take some initiative rather than just retreat into my own little world with earphones in and head in a book. ![]() Lennox begins by encouraging Christians to begin conversations with other people. The tone and anecdotal writing style add to this outcome. More than this, the book paints a picture of evangelism as a joy rather than a duty to be undertaken begrudgingly. This is not a book that claims to give all the answers rather its main aim is to encourage Christians to action. Lennox, as a leading apologist, has written a simple and clear account of the why and how of personal evangelism. This little book has been produced to help Christians have the confidence and tools to witness to those around them about Jesus Christ.
