Search N Rescue: Leading Unbelievers to the Savior

by Eddie Roman

Search and Rescue is a practical guide to reaching people with the good news of Jesus Christ. Eddie has been teaching evangelism classes and leading outreaches for the past six years. As producer/director of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron’s TV show, The Way of the Master , Eddie knows how to communicate deep truths in a way that is easy to grasp. Many Christians want to share the gospel with friends and family, but few actually do. Fear of rejection stifles many. Others don’t share Christ because they don’t know what to say. Drawing insight from the bible, as well as personal experience, Eddie gives clear instruction on how to overcome the obstacles and share your faith.

A very well-written book on evangelism for anyone at any stage of sharing their faith. It's a powerful tool for the new believer as well as a great reminder for the seasoned evangelist. Great wisdom and insight throughout its pages. Comes with deep questions at the end of each chapter that keeps the reader focused and engaged. Highly recommend.

As Christians, we are commanded to share our faith with an unbelieving world. The author has been sharing the gospel for many years and has written a wonderful little book providing the tools and much encouragement to tell others the good news!

Search N Rescue is the first book by evangelist Eddie Roman. My husband and I have the pleasure of knowing Eddie and his wife Carri personally (they even took our wedding photos!), so I was really excited when I found out that Eddie was writing a book. Having witnessed Eddie do open-air preaching, I wondered if Search N Rescue would have applications for an introvert like me. It was exciting to read as Eddie explained that there are different methods for evangelism. These often involve engaging with people in whatever circumstances the Lord has you in. As one who struggles with fear of man, I was really encouraged as Eddie shared his own personal struggles in this area and how the Lord kindly has helped him grow as an evangelist. One of the aspects of Search N Rescue that I really enjoyed is that it explores the various facets of evangelism. Search N Rescue compares what the Bible says about evangelism with what culture (even church culture) tends to believe about the subject. Reading Search N Rescue encouraged me to continue sharing the good news of the gospel with the lost and to not lose heart when it becomes discouraging. In the book, Eddie mentioned using The Good Person Test, made famous by evangelist Ray Comfort, when sharing the gospel with unbelievers. Although I was familiar with how the test works, it was so helpful to read Eddie's overview of it because it explains the gospel simply and accurately. Recently I had an unexpected opportunity to share the gospel with a family member and I was so grateful that I had the principles Eddie shares fresh in my mind! One convicting statement from Eddie that I really appreciate is, "Your conduct speaks volumes before you open your mouth. Ask yourself this simple question: is there anything about my behavior that is hindering my witness?" I've observed various scenarios in which individuals have claimed to be evangelizing in the name of Jesus while simultaneously displaying atrocious, ungodly behavior. This seems to be a common occurrence so I'm especially grateful that Eddie addressed how our actions play a serious role in how we witness to the lost. On page 47 of the book, Eddie tells readers, "Just remember you are talking with a person who was created by the God you love. They are not the enemy; Satan is the enemy. They are not a prospective notch on your belt, a win for the ol' Facebook status or an evangelism conquest. They are a person headed for hell in desperate need of salvation." I was grateful for this thought because it helps Christians remember how they ought to care for the lost. It also serves as a helpful reminder that God is the one who saves souls, not us. Although Eddie possesses deep theological knowledge, he writes about evangelism in a way that is easy to understand. I really enjoyed reading Search N Rescue and had a hard time putting it down. In addition to being a practical resource, Search N Rescue is greatly encouraging and a book that every Christian needs to read. If you are looking for a practical, biblical approach to growing in your love for Jesus by sharing about Him with others, I highly recommend Search N Rescue. I received Search N Rescue compliments of Eddie Roman in exchange for my honest review.

Eddie has explained very well the Why (red letters tell us), the How (be prepared), the What (the essential core truth), the When (every opportunity), and of course the Who (me!!!) regarding evangelism. Loved this book!
