New book - Character Witness

Title: Character Witness: How Our Lives Can Make A Difference In Evangelism
Author: Christine Wood
Call number: 264 WOO









If necessary, use words. When you think about evangelism, you probably think about what you need to say to an unbeliever. You imagine memorizing a five-point outline or a three-point plan. Christine Wood acknowledges that it is important to be able to express the truth of Christ. But in Character Witness she emphasizes that it is just as important to live a life that expresses who Christ is. St. Francis of Assisi put it this way: "Preach the gospel at all times; if necessary, use words."Character Witness is about personal integrity in evangelism. It will help you develop qualities like graciousness, purity, wisdom and patience. And it will show you how to extend yourself to others in ways that express the fullness of the grace of Christ. Wood's message is simple, but revolutionary: Your character is your most valuable evangelism resource.
