Know and Tell the Gospel
Know And Tell The Gospel is designed to help people who are already Christian believers to be better communicators of the gospel; to understand more deeply what the Bible says about God, the world and Jesus. The book attempts to encourage and equip the Christian to be a more effective evangelist. "Tell me", said the girl. "What do I have to do to become a Christian?" I didn't have the faintest idea where to begin. For most Christians, clearly explaining the gospel is more of a dream than a reality. We feel inadequate and reluctant, but at the same time eager to see our friends come to Christ. Know And Tell The Gospel deals with all the questions that so quickly come to mind on this subject. Just what is the gospel anyway? Is it my job to explain it to people? What is God's role and what is mine? Where does church fit in? Why is evangelism so often hard? And how can we train ourselves and others to be involved? In hi characteristically friendly and engaging way, John Chapman provides warm encouragement, insightful Biblical teaching, and a wealth of practical information on evangelism for all Christians. This new edition has been extensively revised and rewritten, and contains up-to-date and evaluation on current resources for evangelism. A must read for every Christian who is concerned to take the gospel to our lost world.
A Fresh Start
With all the honesty and humour for which he is famous, John Chapman tells in "A Fresh Start" what God has done about the state of our fallen world. Something is terribly wrong- with our world, with our relationships, with us. We all sense this at different times. But is there anything we can do about it? With all the honesty and humour for which he is famous, John Chapman tells in "A Fresh Start" that God has done something about it. We read about: just what God has done for us through his son, Jesus; how we can know it is true; what the alternatives are; and what we should do about it. If you have been searching for a book that simply and clearly explains what it means to be a Christian, either for your own or another's benefit, your search is over.
Setting Hearts on Fire
In this book, John Chapman passes on the skills of his craft. He explains how telling people the gospel of Jesus Christ requires us to be servants of the Word itself and servants of the people. Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us? (Luke 24:32) Anyone who explains the good news of Jesus Christ to others hopes that this will be the result - that hearts will be set on fire by the message, and that repentance and faith will follow. In this book, which is the fruit of his 40 years experience as an evangelist, John Chapman passes on the skills of his craft. He explains how telling people the gospel of Jesus Christ requires us to be servants: servants of the Word itself (to understand it accurately), and servants of the people (to explain it clearly). Whether you are a person who teaches the Bible in a Sunday school class, a small group Bible study, scripture at school, a teenage fellowship group or through preaching sermons, then this book is for you. In his inimitable way, 'Chappo' shows you, step by step, how to prepare and deliver a talk that clearly explains the gospel of Jesus Christ.
