Overview

"When you miss an opportunity to share Christ with someone, it’s your fault if that person goes to hell." Not true, says veteran evangelist and teacher Larry Moyer. God never said many of the things that we believe. In this practical book, Moyer dispels twenty-one common misconceptions Christians have about evangelism. With biblical principles and practical suggestions, he helps us learn to witness out of grace, not guilt.

Top Highlights

“Telling others about Christ is not a requirement for salvation. It’s a requirement for discipleship.” (Page 25)

“Believe means, ‘Understanding that Jesus Christ died for me and rose again, I receive eternal life by trusting Him alone as my only way to heaven.’” (Page 37)

“Repentance, used in a salvation context, means to change your mind about whatever is keeping you from trusting Christ, and to trust Him to save you.” (Page 96)

“The biblical position would be this: Have communion with believers; have contact with unbelievers.” (Page 33)

“He didn’t enter the city defending what he believed. He entered declaring what he believed.” (Page 51)

Praise for the Print Edition

Salvation is free, yet it did not come without great cost. Salvation is also simple, yet many believers struggle because they add requirements that are not found in Scripture. Larry Moyer does a superb job of challenging these misconceptions, freeing God’s children to fully abound in his grace.

Many who think they are sharing the Gospel are leaving out important elements that sinners need to hear: they're lost; Christ paid the penalty for their sin; we are saved through simple faith in Christ alone and not in praying some prayer or doing some other act. This book should help clear up confusion in the minds of many people.
