Turning Everyday Conversations into Gospel Conversations
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
We live in a broken world.
And the gospel is how God puts broken people back together
again. Once we repent and believe in Jesus, God’s Spirit helps
us recover and pursue His design. God is the one who created the
world and every human being in it.
Authors Jimmy Scroggins and Steve Wright outline a
reproducible method of sharing the gospel that has been tested in
the real world. Turning Everyday Conversations Into Gospel
Conversations is a simple strategy to train new and
seasoned believers to join God in His reconciliation work.
Turning Everyday Conversations Into Gospel
Conversations equips believers to use the innovative "3
Circles," a user-friendly evangelistic tool for a new generation.
Scroggins and Wright train readers to incorporate the biblical
metanarrative, as well as our own personal stories, to tell the
good news that Jesus has made a way out of the broken places we
find ourselves.
Churches around the world are training people to share the
gospel using this method. It has proven appeal across generations
and cultures. They've heard stories about an 8-year-old boy leading
his 26-year-old cousin to repent and believe in Jesus and a
70-plus-year-old church member, who had never before shared his
faith, leading his Spanish-speaking neighbor to Christ. It’s been
used to train the Mixtec in Mexico, Maasai Warriors in Kenya, and
prisoners in America. It’s been presented on napkins, in concrete,
in the sand, and using tortillas. The 3 Circles work, and this
book will train you and your church members to use it.
It doesn’t matter if you have been a Christian for decades or
days, you can learn to do what God asks us to do—to make His appeal
to others through us (2 Cor. 5:20). This short training manual
will empower and inspire millions of Christians to turn hundreds of
millions of everyday conversations into gospel conversations.
