3 Bill Hybels Just Walk Across the Room : Simple Steps Pointing People to Faith 5 studies Building on the solid foundation laid in Becoming a Contagious Christian, Just Walk Across the Room signals the next era in personal evangelism. Pastor Bill Hybels's firm conviction is that the highest value in personal evangelism is being attuned to and cooperative with the promptings of the Holy Spirit. This means playing only the role you are intended to play--- walking when the Spirit says to walk, talking when the Spirit says to talk, and falling silent when the Spirit suggests that you've already said enough. More than two thousand years ago, Jesus himself introduced the perfect model for evangelism. He left the marvelous adoration of the angels and the perfection of heaven, and he chose to 'walk' clear across the cosmos. He had no memorized script, no forced formulas. Instead, he was armed only with an offer of redemption to people just like you and me, many of whom were neck-deep in pain of their own making. Today, the goal for every Christian is to reflect Christ's love and follow his example by taking simple walks across rooms---leaving our circles of comfort and extending hands of care, compassion, and inclusiveness to people living far from God. Hybels encourages Christfollowers to 'live in 3-D'---developing friendships, discovering stories, and discerning appropriate next steps---as a means of learning to understand the Spirit's promptings. With fresh perspectives from his own reflections and experiences collected during his most recent decade of ministry. Hybels shows with undeniable clarity the power of this approach to evangelism.

4 William Fay Share Jesus Without Fear 11 studies In recent years, the Share Jesus without Fear book and its growing family of ancillary products have sparked a faith-sharing movement that continues to gain momentum. It began with the jaw-dropping story of William Fay, once a money-driven businessman with Mafia ties who ran a house of prostitution until it was raided by police. Facing the threat of jail time, Fay turned to Jesus Christ for redemption and ever since has been turning others to Him as well. This 70-minute audio CD edition of Share Jesus without Fear relays Fay's passionate, effective instructions on how to share the love of Christ with anyone-- without feeling intimidated on either side of the conversation. Bold and joyful, the outreach movement continues without fear. Focus Study Evangelism (Alphabetically) April 5, 2014 page 4

5 Brett Eastman Deanna, Eastman Todd Wendorff Life Together Christian Beliefs & Living Connecting in Christ (Experiencing Christ Together) 6 sessions Fellowship. The word gets used a lot in church. But too often our understanding and practice of fellowship are shallow and stripped of the life-giving, life-transforming power God intended community to have. Jesus lived out and taught a deeper, more radical kind of fellowship---a way of interacting that makes others sit up and take notice. These six sessions will show you Jesus way of loving others as I have loved you. Experiencing Christ Together helps your group explore the five biblical purposes that make up a high-impact Christian life ---fellowship, discipleship, ministry, evangelism, and worship. Jesus perfectly lived out God s purposes for his life, and he taught his followers how to do the same. As you walk in the footsteps of those first disciples listening to and watching Jesus through these studies, you and your group will be transformed. This Bible study gets to the heart of the matter--- my character in Christ---and that has created action on my part. Focus Study Evangelism (Alphabetically) April 5, 2014 page 5
