Wordsmith Shows Concern & Way to Outreach to the Educated

Deffner came across this need to reach out with the gospel while at Cal Berkeley. The need to engage the educated about the faith is here presented in wonderful, thoughtful ways.He does this by providing profiles of these people, usually of the autonomous, free-thinking classifications. Dominated by other worldviews than Christian, Deffner helps with conversational bridges which can be used to engage with them about theology. They will listen and ask probing questions. THis is the fun and challenge in this.Offers much in the way of books and such that can be utilized in this outreach. Best advice though is when he suggests that we find out what our educated friends are reading, read it ourselves, then relate the good news to it. Super approach. God will bless!Worth finding, reading and using in our outreach opportunities.
