Evangelism for the Fainthearted

By Floyd & Christine Schneider

Book Overview

Leading another person to Jesus can be the most thrilling experience you will ever have. "Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. - Daniel 12:3

"Evangelism for the Fainthearted" offers hope and practical guidance for Christians who feel hesitant or unsure about sharing their faith. Through real-life stories, biblical insight, and gentle encouragement, it shows how ordinary believers can naturally lead others to Christ-without pressure, guilt, or fear. The book teaches how to recognize those who are genuinely seeking God, how to start a Bible study with them, and how to let the Holy Spirit work simply through reading Scripture together-without needing to teach or explain. The text itself speaks, and lives are changed.

The very first thing that Jesus told his brand-new disciples in Mark 1:17 was "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." This book is all about fishing. Enjoy

Customer Reviews

A great common-sense alternative

In our efforts to share the gospel with those we meet, Schneider recommends that our primary goal should be to read the Bible together and allow Scripture to speak. He advocates using the gospel of John as the starting place. This has great merit on many levels: - It allows God to work through Scripture - We do not need to know every answer to every question - This creates an ongoing Bible study where Jesus and his work (the gospel) can be seen in a full way. Schneider does more than focus on his core premise, however. He surrounds his premise with sound and helpful advice on how we can better enter into the lives of those around us. Evangelism is often defined in the context of a short encounter. While we should always be able to share the gospel, I think the short encounter is overrated. Schneider's approach is well suited for engaging those we connect with regularly. It not only gives the gospel, it gives the gospel in context. Waldean Wall [...]

Wisdom with humor

This book is a marvelous read. Mr. Schneider captures the faint hearts of his readers beautifully and manages to throw stimulating cold water on them with his arguments against being weak-willed when it comes to sharing the gospel. The reader learns from his clear and potent examples of how to answer questions from those who either doubt the authenticity of the Bible or who deny it outright. In brilliant case after case he leads us through his own cogent and articulate -yet simple- conversations with those who were very tough cases. I was spellbound by his ability to cut to the chase and to offer clear analagies as he sought to bring others to the saving grace of knowing Who Christ is. I highly recommend this book to all Christians, but even moreso to doubters who cannot or will not ordinarily sit still for talk about God. This is easy to get into for anyone. This is a remarkable man and a remarkable book.

An ideal "how to" introduction for sharing the gospel.

Floyd Schneider is a veteran missionary and Bible teacher who in Evangelism For The Fainthearted, presents a real-life, practical approach to sharing the Good News. He shows the reader how to become involved with non-Christian friends, turn conversations to spiritual things, and talk about salvation in a comfortable, natural, effective way. Evangelism For The Fainthearted is the ideal "how to" introduction on sharing the gospel with family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and anyone else we encounter as we proceed through the days of our lives.

Practical Evangelism

Floyd Schneider brings a different approach to evangelism, one that anyone can use- ask them to read the Bible with you! No more telling others what the Bible says, but having them read the truth for themselves. All the students in my Personal Evangelism class read the book, and now many of the students are involved in a Bible study with people they met in town. I've read the book, and it's right on. I recommend this to anyone who wants a real and practical way to evangelize.

Tired of not having led anyone to Christ...read on!

I have read many books on evangelism and by far "Evangelism for the faint-hearted" is the best I've read so far. Many books share principles but Mr.Schneider goes further by providing practical help on how to address the most popular objections out there. I read the book on a Thursday and the next day I found two people that I will be having a evangelistic study with. This is a must read for all Christians.
