Learning Evangelism from Jesus

This is a great book on personal evangelism with a focus on how Jesus evangelized people. However, the author often goes on a tangent and loses focus of the core goal of the book.

Prof. Jerram Barrs is deeply aware of God's great for the unbeliever, and shares in that heat with our Heavenly Father. In this book, he gives us windows into the myriad approaches of the greatest evangelist ever to live, Jesus Christ. Through Prof. Barrs' careful and heart felt exposition of these passages, we begin to see exactly how Jesus embarked on his mission, and we see what a delight it is for us to be called to serve by his side.

Great read. Author does not exclude repentance or preaching the law first before gospel (page 90) (page 65) like a previous reviewer wrote. I found this book helpful and encouraging. Jesus is the best teacher when it comes to evangelism and this book takes a close look at Christ's evangelistic encounters.

This is what I would call a "twist" on studying traditional evangelism as it gives examples of how Jesus taught us to witness to people or to share the Good News. The many scripture verses used in the book are usually taught to us as theological lessons, but here, Jerram Barrs uses them in a wonderfully refreshing way. Clearly the way we have been evangelizing has not been the way of Christ. Not necessarily wrong, just not the way that is most effective, or the best way to reach those who are without a redeemer.

Our fellowship class at church is doing a group read, study, and share on this book that was recommended by our pastor. It is written well and very easy to read. That is not to say the content is trivial rather it is thought provoking. Our class discussions focused on the weekly chapters read has been interesting, lively, enlightening, and very educational

Professor Barrs does a superb job of showing Jesus not only as the great lover of men, but as a master communicator of the gospel. We have much to learn from Him.

This will most certainly be read over and over again as the challenges to evangelize are so clear. Evangelism as modeled by Jesus is not a one size fits all process and this book takes specific examples of Jesus' ministry to explain this idea. Well organized and laid out, this book is a great one to have on your shelf.

A new perspective & approach to evangelism based on the greatest evangelist whoever lived! highly recommended reading for those who long to reach the lost.

Excellent book with very good readings and suggestions on how to witness and share God's great eternal love with others, like Jesus did when He was on earth. I would recommend this book. I find this book very interesting. Thank you. Blessings!
