Synopsis

What does the Gospel of Jesus Christ have to offer to the person who does not feel an overwhelming sense of need? The author considers this question in light of the usual attempts on the part of evangelists and preachers to convince their hearers of their desperate situation without the Gospel. He argues that Jesus Christ appeals to every person where that person is.

If the Gospel is also for the person who has no overwhelming sense of need, what is the Good News to that person? The author suggests that such a person can rejoice in God, who is the giver of all good things, and be challenged to use these gifts in the name of Jesus Christ.

This book will provide much food for thought for persons seeking a fuller understanding of the Christian faith and better ways to proclaim that faith to people who have everything—everything but the Good News.

“This book gives the freshest approach to Christian evangelism in the last twenty years. It does not offer techniques, but seeks to radically change our fundamental ideas about seeking to draw people to Christ. Read it and then read it again!” --Eric Spivey, Beaufort, South Carolina
