I'll try and get this discussion going although I'm not sure I can limit it to just one book. My personal favorite is "The Art of Personal Evangelism" by Will McRaney. This is a very comprehensive and practical book on evangelistic theology and communication. It also includes a section on speaking to the postmodern generation. Two good beginner books I'd recommend are "Speaking of Jesus " by J. Mack Stiles , which is an easy read and Stiles gets his points across in a humorous way. Also Mark Dever's "The Gospel and Personal Evangelism", which is quick read and emphasizes the importance of the Gospel in sharing our faith. Reply to this

I've read lots of books on evangelism, but the one that has helped me the most is "Share Jesus without Fear" by Bill Fay. Broadman & Holman, 1999. Fay's approach promotes a dialogue, gets people reading the Bible, and leads them to a decision. His "formula" is confrontational to be sure, but it's just what the Holy Spirit has in mind for some folks. Reply to this
