It is relationship, not method

Praying For You is a simple, straightforward description of a life dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Howard Tryon reminds us that effective evangelism is first predicated on our relationship with God, shared with lively illustrations of both his personal failures and victories. Second, the book is a reminder that for God to use us, we have to "be there" in relationship with unbelievers. For those of us who rely on method, it is a succinct description of what the author considers, "relational prayer evangelism". In other words, if you are comfortable with the "Four Laws", Roman Road, etc., you will find this book enhances your effectiveness, because it stresses relationship, based on prayer, with the unbeliever; your neighbor, family member, bus driver, or waitress. A wonderful aspect to the book, however, is the emphasis on the Holy Spirit to work His witness even through the new Christian who knows no method, save, "once I was blind, but now I see." Prerequisites for sharing the gospel? Ask yourself, are you a kind and compassionate person, winsome with the love and life of Jesus Christ, and are you dependent upon God in your efforts to seek and save the lost? If you are like me, and honestly reply to both questions sometimes in the negative, yet, in your heart you desire to see others come to Christ, then this is the book you have been looking for.
