Soul Whisperer [Hardcover]

Description: What if we changed the face of evangelism? In a time when so many have a negative perception of evangelism, what if a new model was entirely biblical, loaded with skills, and more effective? Soul Whisperer shifts the emphasis from telling to a drawing paradigm. It develops biblically the pattern of Jesus, who did not give static presentations but rather customized his words to each hearer. By learning his ways, our words, too, can have pinpointed impact! Christians will discover how to draw out first, in order to read their friends and discern the relevant appeal of the gospel. In this way, the style is far more dynamic. It adapts! Understanding the non-believer's unique starting point will determine a distinct path. By creating a conversation about spiritual influence and what is involved in faith formation, this book charts ways for Christians to go deeper in evangelistic relationships. Most importantly, Soul Whisperer infuses skills that will shape a more Christ-likened missional disciple. Endorsements: Comer covers a wide range of obstacles to faith-sharing that most of us experience. His discussions are honest, personally vulnerable, and rich with illustrations drawn from Scripture, contemporary culture, and personal encounters. The best commendation I can offer is that after reading the insights of Soul Whisperer I can say to myself, 'I think I could do that!' --Eddie Gibbs, Professor Emeritus, Fuller Theological Seminary I love it! This is one impressive piece of work. Not another book about telling the gospel, this one is about helping the gospel 'take' in people's hearts. Lots of people need to read this! --Mike Barnes, Evangelism Pastor, The Grove Church Soul Whisperer is about real evangelism. Gary is honest about the fact that we don't just go and tell the truths about Jesus, but we come alongside and help influence people as they discover the truth of Jesus. . . . But make no mistake, this book is not softening anything; hl#
