Ebook: Questioning evangelism: engaging people's hearts the way Jesus did

Why are questions better than answers? -- Solomonic soulwinning : what does the book of Proverbs teach us about questions? -- How do questions pave the way for answers? -- Why are Christians so intolerant? -- Why does a good God allow evil and suffering such as Columbine and AIDS? : the ultimate why question (part 1) -- Why should anyone worship a God who allowed 9/11? : the ultimate why question (part 2) -- Why should we believe an ancient book written by dead Jewish males? -- Why are Christians so homophobic? -- What's so good about marriage? -- If Jesus is so great, why are some of his followers such jerks? -- The question of compassion : "What if I don't care that my neighbor is going to hell?" -- The question of anger : "What if I really want my neighbor to go to hell?" -- The question of silence : "When is it time to shut up?";There was something different about the way Jesus communicated with the lost: He didn't force answers upon people, He asked questions. So why don't we? Following Christ's lead, Randy Newman has been using a questioning style of evangelism for decades. In this provocative book, he provides practical insights to help Christians engage others in meaningful spiritual conversations. He challenges us to examine how we think about people, their questions, and our crucial message. This second edition includes a new preface reflecting on the popularity of this perennial best seller and what its success has taught Newman about the effectiveness of this extraordinary method.
