I first read started reading Charles Finney around 1986, and saw that his method of preaching the Gospel was very different than the modern method. Then in 1989 I found Hell’s Best Kept Secret in my favorite bookstore, and my evangelistic life was changed. I believe everyone interested in the salvation of souls should read Ray Comfort’s books. HBSK should be a must read. There are other methods of evangelism, but we must implement the use of the Law to convict people of their sins.
One thing we must remember about evangelism is that Jesus told us to “go and make disciples of all nations” not “converts.” Evangelism is just the first step (well, the second step…prayer should be the first step). Our goal is to make disciples, and that’s where the section on Church Planting comes in.
No matter what method you use for evangelism, don’t forget to use the KEY of the Law to work with the conscience and the Holy Spirit to bring conviction of sin…and make grace amazing! MUST READ!
I consider this Hell’s Best Kept Secret II. It’s gives a refined method of sharing your faith, building on HBKS. But I still recommend you read HBKS first.
