Organic Outreach for Ordinary People

Almost every how-to book on personal evangelism clearly states reasons to share our faith and methods to accomplish the task. Most, however, fail to acknowledge the 600-pound elephant in the corner. How do we actually do it when we're scared, intimidated or just plain terrified of such encounters?

Kevin Harney speaks with a passionate, pastoral voice to give fresh ideas to an age-old dilemma. The book is well-organized, suitable as a guide for small groups or classes, but also succeeds in motivating the individual reader to try something new in personal evangelism. As he moves from preparing and planting the Word, to bearing fruit, Harney speaks with articulate and compelling simplicity. Calling us to invite others into the ordinary activities of our lives, he is confident that a prayer-filled person's organic faith will overflow onto others. I put the book down saying, "I could do that!"
