Description

Most of us find evangelism hard. There is great hostility towards Jesus. But there is also great hunger for Jesus and there is no greater joy than seeing people come to know him.

This realistic and humorous book by Rico Tice will help prepare and encourage you to be honest and bold in your evangelism, presenting the gospel fully and properly, even when it's tough.

Rico Tice is the Founder of Christianity Explored Ministries and Senior Minister (Evangelism) at All Souls Church, London.

I read this through in one sitting - it is realistic, challenging and wonderfully helpful. I am anxious to get this book into the hands of my congregation.

Kevin DeYoung

Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church (East Lansing, Michigan, USA)

I try to regularly read books on prayer and evangelism, because both are so vital to Christian maturity and both are so difficult. The strength of this book is that Rico does lots of personal evangelism, and yet, he is very honest about how personal evangelism is still a struggle for him. A short book full of good encouragement.

A great read that is both realistic and hopeful about our evangelism, written by a man whom God has used mightily to spread the gospel. Every Christian will benefit from this.

Book Review: Honest Evangelism by Rico Tice

Graham Daniels, 9Marks, June 23rd 2015

Honest Evangelism is a fabulous book. It speaks to the head and the heart, it motivates the will to get to work in passing on the Good News through normal, everyday relationships with your team mates, friends and family. Get hold of it, read it and be prepared to cross the 'pain line'. It'll be worth it!Sport... continue reading

 

I couldn't be more excited

J Mack Stiles, The Gospel Coalition, October 7th 2015

I couldn’t be more excited about this hard-hitting, honest book on personal evangelism.

Tice had me with his first story. I could feel the heat rising up my neck as he described the abuse his newfound faith attracted from schoolboy bullies.... continue reading

 

This is a good book and I hope people read it

Austin Suter, 9Marks, February 3rd 2016

There are many books on evangelism. Has Tice done something here with this book to merit a read? Yes. The bulk of this book is focused on setting the reader’s mind on the power of the God who saves through his gospel and by his power, not ours. By developing that theology, Tice encourages his readers to share an offensive message with people they cannot convince on their own. In God’s wisdom, that is exactly the right message with which to encourage Christians.... continue reading

“Great for small groups”

We read this book during lockdown over zoom for a church book group. It was great to be thinking of evangelism (what it is/isn't, why we do/don't, looking from God's view not just ours) and helped us to make most of new opportunities that God has given us in this moment.
For each session we would discuss the previous chapter for 30 minutes and then someone/people would read the next chapter. This gave us a week to dwell on what we heard and read and let it sink it.
Definitely recommend reading it in a group although i'm sure it would be helpful for individuals too.

“very honest”

As one who is petrified on door to door work, I found Honest Evangelism reassuring - and very honest and realistic. I gave a book review in church and got 4 takers. The book is not glib, but refreshingly honest.

“It will help us out of comfort zone”

I borrowed this book from a friend and read it on holiday this week. I will be ordering one for myself as it is so good. Whilst being down to earth and very practical, the author backs up his thoughts with scripture and reminds the reader of the joy of heaven in seeing people come to Christ. It deals with crossing the "painline" the things that hold us back from evangelism, and offers insight on what to say and expect when witnessing. I found myself challenged and having to put the book down to pray about things and picking it back on with a renewed mind. This book will fuel your faith. It may cause you to leave your comfort zone and share the glorious gospel with the lost.

“Excellent resource”

(Review written for 'Honest Evangelism')

Rico Tice has done it again. Coupled with the on-line seminar on the same subject, this is an excellent resource and encouragement to "get out there" and share our faith.
