Reviews

[Paul · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this in the 80’s, and it is still great. Stories and illustrations are from ‘60s, but that was my world too. Very helpful in training for winsome evangelism.

[Brent · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book delivers what the title says. Core truth I gained: We are what we DO, not what we SAY.

[Pablo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great perspective on how to share Christ with others in a way that lasts.
