Most Christians already know that they should be telling their friends about Jesus. But they have been poorly equipped with methods that are no longer effective in today's post-Christian world. As a result, many people become frustrated, blame themselves, and simply give up. Evangelism in a Skeptical World is a textbook on evangelism that is ideal for the church or the classroom to equip Christians with the principles and skills they need to tell the unbelievable news about Jesus to friends in a skeptical world.
Many of the older principles and methods of evangelism in the twentieth century no longer work effectively today. In a post-Christian, post-churched, post-reached world we need new methods to communicate the timeless message of the gospel in culturally relevant ways. Dr. Chan combines the theological and biblical insights of classic evangelistic training with the latest insights from missiology on contextualization, cultural hermeneutics, and storytelling. Every chapter is illustrated with real-world examples drawn from over fifteen years of evangelistic ministry. These are methods that really work - with university students, urban workers, and professionals - getting past the defensive posture that people have toward Christianity so they can seriously consider the claims of Jesus Christ.
Field-tested and filled with unique, fresh, and creative insights, this book will equip you to share the gospel in today's world and help as many people as possible hear the good news about Jesus.

Evangelism in a Skeptical World: How to Make the Unbelievable News About Jesus More Believable$49.99
The strength of this book is that it offers both excellent theory and practice. The book starts with the biblical and theological basis for what our """"good news"""" about Jesus is. This very thoughtful theory is followed by a huge amount of information on the best ways to deliver the gospel of Jesus in this day and age. \\r\\nThere are tips for personal sharing with family and friends in our homes and then tips for doing talks to a mixed audience which will suit both the public speakers and quiet conversationalists in Christ's body. \\r\\nThe a-ha moments in this book came for me with a helpful analysis of the different eras of """"Modern"""" and """"Post modern"""". I was prompted to think of new ways to speak to my angry post modern friends who are resistant to apologetics, tracts or crusades that used to work in the """"modern"""" era. This book is both a reference and """"How to"""" book which I will read again. We have such great news to share about Jesus, its great to have a thoughtful book that helps us do it well! Highly recommended.
