Compelled: The Irresistible Call to Share Your Faith [Paperback]

Deep in the heart of every believer, there is a faint whisper. A call. A prompting. We go about our business and we hear it. We see and interact with lost people each day, and the whisper echoes again: “Share your faith. Tell them about Jesus.”

But fear, busyness, and lack of tools or motivation silence the whisper. Another day, another year, another life passes and we haven’t told anyone about the best thing that ever happened to us—the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern-day messages of kindness and acceptance deceive us into thinking we never have to open our mouths and actually share the truth with others in love.

And yet the whisper is trying to tell you that you have the key to eternity in your possession. Can you hear it?

In Compelled, Dudley Rutherford shares his earnest desire for each and every believer to be equipped and bold with the good news of salvation. He encourages you with inspiring stories of men and women, young and old, who have accepted the irresistible call to share Jesus with everyone they meet. And he provides practical methods to overcome your fears and effectively articulate the message of salvation.

Allow these pages to strengthen the gentle nudging in your spirit until it’s too loud to ignore—until you are compelled to tell others about the hope you’ve found.
