    Product Description

    Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting experience—and often a long, painful, and confrontational one. Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing the Gospel Home, he delivers practical and holistic strategies to help ordinary Christians engage family members, and others, on topics of faith.

    A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ, Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they evangelize. He writes, ‘a richer understanding of biblical truth, I have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and clear communication.’ After a brief introduction on the nature of family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility, and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any Christian who is seeking to guide loved ones into God’s family.

    Commendations:

    'Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with our closest relatives and friends is something we naturally care passionately about, but it is also a task we often feel most ill-equipped for. Randy Newman has done the church a great service by writing such clear, empathetic, helpful and Biblical advice on a topic so many of us struggle with.'Steven Stanton, Friends International Staff Worker

    'Newman has challenged and charmed lay audiences as a plenary speaker at apologetics conferences sponsored by the Evangelical Philosophical Society. His approach to evangelism is a wonderful blend of thoughtful faith and deep compassion for people. You will be inspired by his insights.'William Lane Craig, author of A Reasonable Faith

    A brilliant book for the challenges of witness to family

    Randy Newman combines sound teaching, great practicality and a good dose of humour. The book is written in a lively readable style. For anyone who wants to share the gospel with family this is a book to read, enjoy and be encouraged by. The author writes from his own experience and has collected lots of examples from other people also. It is a book for every permutation of relationships with - parents, children, wives, husbands, grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. There is wisdom for the many facets of all of these. Undergirding all of the book are Randy Newman’s TLC - Time ("a longer term perspective"); Love ("a deep reservoir of love") and Comprehensiveness ("presenting the gospel as comprehensive in its effects, not just a ticket into heaven").

    Bringing the Gospel Home

    The phrase ‘not for the faint-hearted’ springs to mind when reading this insightful but challenging text. Not everybody, least of all every Christian who should, will appreciate Randy Newman’s provocative illustrations. He points out that family is so important to God, and that evangelism should start at home. He cites the example of Saul, who was responsible for having Stephen stoned to death. A cousin or relative of Saul could have been sitting around some prayer meeting centuries ago asking his fellow believers if they wouldn’t mind praying for a lost soul. Who knows, he might even have been on the road to Emmaus at the time. The author personally interviewed people of faith, who had brothers or sisters on the other side, addled by drugs, and gives examples of other siblings who have come to faith because the eldest led by example, and in some cases rather forcefully handed out Christian tracts, sometimes without parental knowledge. This book shows that we have Christian responsibility towards our immediate and wider Christian family, and is an invaluable encouragement for a would-be evangelist struggling to get their loved ones to listen to them.
