Questioning Evangelism
Engaging people's hearts the way Jesus did
Description
A revolutionary look at sharing Christ with unbelievers by using the probing, provocative, and penetrating method Jesus used to engage others in personal dialogue and caring interaction.
This is a great book on evangelism in today's postmodern culture. Randy Newman has much experience in evangelism and has spent years wrestling with the Bible. He is well-read in philosophy, apologetics, and biblical theology, but makes it all very accessible. Those of us eager to witness to other people, but unsure of how to do it, will find answers to how to address issues such as homosexuality, adultery, idolatry, abortion and other combustible issues.
Questioning Evangelism points out that using a question, instead of an answer, to a question, follows the teachings of Jesus. By questioning someone's question, we can then open a dialog that is neither threatening nor invasive.
Newman addresses questions such as:
* Why are Christians so intolerant?
* Why does a good God allow evil and suffering?
* Why should anyone worship a God who allowed 9/11?
* Why should we believe an ancient book written by dead Jewish males?
* If Jesus is so great, why are some of his followers such jerks?

Worth reading
This was a good read and really gave some good ideas for those tricky questions during evangelism, but I wouldn't just read this book. You need to read others as well. 
A very practical book, with plenty of encouragement and advice
This is an enjoyable book, full of practical advice on how to approach evangelism in a way that doesn't slam all the doors shut in your face.
Easy to read, and easy to put to work.
Very good and also encouraging to hear how using 'questioning' evangelism is working in the world today
