Out of the Comfort Zone
Overview
Most of us have a “comfort zone”—certain conditions in which we feel safe and satisfied. But circumstances often drive us out from that area. Such was the case when Ray Comfort found himself traveling 7,000 miles from his homeland in New Zealand to speak to the daunting residents of the most dangerous part of Los Angeles. MacArthur Park was infamous for being the home of murderers, drug addicts, thieves, pimps, prostitutes, the destitute, and the homeless.
At times, this fast-moving and true-life drama will make your hair stand on end as you enter the dark side of humanity. It will also encourage you and lift your faith as you learn how a celebrated Hollywood actor teamed up with Ray Comfort to bring an amazing message to America.
In the Logos edition of Out of the Comfort Zone, you get easy access to Scripture texts and to a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Hovering over Scripture references links you instantly to the verse you’re looking for, and with passage guides, word studies, and a wealth of other tools from Logos, you can delve into God’s Word like never before!

“The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.” (Page 130)
“Christianity promises four things: tribulation, temptation, persecution, and everlasting life” (Page 43)
“John Wesley, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Luther, and others whom God had used down through the ages, and found that each warned that if the Law wasn’t used to prepare the way for the gospel, the Church would fill with false converts.” (Page 121)
“Instead of preaching that Jesus improves the flight, we should be warning the passengers that they have to jump out of a plane.” (Page 125)
“The fact that the Bible (KJV) doesn’t mention the word ‘happiness’ even once, yet mentions ‘righteousness’ 289 times,” (Page 126)
Ray Comfort’s teaching is right on. I’m glad he’s out there.
